Our demand "one rank one pension"

Almost all of us know a bit about "one rank one pension" demand by the retired army persons but we hardly know what is the main issue. There are many army people who retired in early 6o's and 70's getting pension which is very less as compare to present soldiers retiring from army. Example: if a havaldar retired in 70's getting approx 3000/- pension, havaldar retiring now are getting approx Rs. 6000 to 7000. The problem is that havaldar rank is same and work duration is same then why this large gap in pension soldiers having same rank. At that time the inflattion was not that high as copare to present days and it is very difficult for those ex-serviceman to live their life.

Its almost years now the retired veterans are fighting for their rights but one good news is that Defence minister A.K. Antony has given assurance that he will try his best to pass this bill in parliament as soon as possible. But one question is still unanswered why this diffentiation policy for Defence people and other Govt. employee beacause everybody knows who is more important.

Are We Really Forgotten Our SOLDIERS!!!!!!!

26 July 1999 Indian Soldiers re-captured kargil hill and Since then we celebrate 26th July as "Vijay Diwas". We don't realize how difficult the kargil war was because we were sitting in our houses and just watching it in TVs and doing our daily routine work irrespective of what was going on in front. Because we know our brave soldiers fighting and they will bring back lost-glory.

Being a Son of a Army Soldier, being a Brother of an army soldier I can understand what does a war mean!! But, I think our politicians didn't understood it yet. 500+ soldier died in war and not a single politicians got 5 minute time to go Drass sector in jammu-kashmir, where army started their 1st operation. Its really shame for us as well as the politicians and for the nation.

I think the politicians forgot it completly that the soldier fighting in LOC, are fighting for the Nation(INDIA) not any individual war, not for any political party but for "Mother India". Therefore, I request all indian citizens to remember the original heros of life, INDIAN SOLDIERS. They really dont want any sympathy but the respect they are worthy of.........

Please lit a candle in remembrance of the brave soldiers died in kargil....
