As an Ex.SS commissioned Army officer who has gone through one war and also now retired as a senior executive of an Oil PSU, I felt disgusted at the undignified and unofficerlike agitation carried out by some of the defence verans in Delhi.If OLQ is that differentiates an officer from others, those leaders who were shouting slogans, did not show any such quality.Even after govt. agreed to all the major points,their greed in contnuing with the agitation is unpardonable..Buoyed by the support from a dotting press and the politician's unwillingness to say anything against the 'patriots',they went over board and made them nothing different from political agitators.It is known to every body that it is only those in non-officer category who retire before the age of 40.They get a tippance of a pension.Instead of asking for jobs in governmental institutions and PSUs for these released soldiers,the agitating leaders were harping on OROP alone.Even now a reired superceded Lt.Col gets a pension of more than Rs.40,000 and a brigadier about Rs 50,000.Ours is a volunteer army and no one has forced them to join the defence services.
They forget that there are others also who contributed to the growth, stability and welfare of this nation.For example Oil PSUs.The work condition in 60s and 70s in oil sector were worse than that of a peace time soldier and we did not have a war for the last43 years except the battalion strength skirmish in Kargil.Their employees competed with international oil giants in adverse circumstances to bring up national oil copanies like IOC.What did they get in return,a CPF half of which was contributed by they themselves with no pension.The CPF of Rs.10 or 20 Lkahs they got in 80s and 90s are peanuts now.Many of those retired are almost destitutes now.The comnpanies have forgotten them and the nation also.Every one knows that the present government is a nationalist government with every sympathy for soldiers and veterans.But as an elected government they can not abdicate their responsibilty to the poor of this nation.Government has to balance their economics.To make the government crawl,after they have agreed to accept OROP and most of their demans, with such agitation is the height of irresponsibilty.Pot bellied retired generals jumping and shouting slogans gave a despicable sight espicially when we we are inundated with news of farmer;s suicides every day.

Dear Brig Saha
It seems our veterans lose their ability to detect friend from foe
once they retire if you lot routinely dish out terms like "traitor" to
describe your channel hosts.
FYI, I am not a babu. Neither do I get any pension / salary from the Govt.
What "I" am is the poor fool who pays for all the worthless and
whining rascals hiding behind terms like patriotism and nationalism
for their greedy / selfish ends. I am the person who pays for ketchup
colonels and their fake encounters. I am the person who pays for
Adarsh Housing scams. ...
You people were paid enough for any work you allegedly did while in
service. If you couldn't save while you were in service I fail to see
why we citizens should pay for your existence and your booze once you
retire. (NB: By "you" I mean each and every person who gets a pension
- starting from our worthless MPs)
I am sure that many ordinary citizens would say much the same thing
once we leave the hypocrisy behind.
Best regards
.
