Re: [IAC#RG] Fwd: OROP

Dear Wing Commander Chadda,

I request you to re-read my emails on this subject. Our concerns with
OROP are with ALL such types of pension schemes where the politicians
are spending / pledging the wealth / defence of the future children of
India on today's recklessness.

FYI: I was born in the Base Army Hospital at Delhi Cantt - a Military
Hospital - and I was delivered by Col Chapekar, AMC, a member of the
well known Chapekar family of patriots. My delivery fees and hospital
charges were paid from my grandfather's meagre military pension.

So it is wrong to say that I crib about fauljis getting pension or
treatment in Military Hospitals post retirement.

sincerely

Sarbajit
