This will definitely increase the pension liability of the government and further complicate pension increments since any increase would automatically mean an increase in the pension of the vast number of soldiers who are already retired. IMO we need few think tanks and propeller heads to revise the 7th pay commission of India and introduce inflation adjusted model for OROP with enforcements like redistribution of income, something similar to what they have in Japan<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127335578287784291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905902267419160680.post-29121215494438309262015-08-17T14:03:06.415+05:302015-08-17T14:03:06.415+05:30a very well written article sir!- - i commend you ...a very well written article sir!- - i commend you for the courage displayed and the concern which is quite evident from the write-up. <br />Yes, WE- The NATION" have failed our armed forces- - on more occasions than one- - - in more ways than one.

If that is the case, then how the real and faceless soldier will be rewarded by implementation of OROP. My one more doubt is, why all the political parties who are not in the Government say they support the cause whereas there was no sincere effort were made when they were in power. (Its applicable to current ruling party also) Until and unless media people come out in support and bring some star or starlet to discuss on the subject, the real aam-aadmi is not going to bother. That's for sure.Bhushanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947731947810923800noreply@blogger.com
