1/4. Tour of Duty (ToD) for three yrs service in mil is froth with danger of lowering operational preparedness. Mil Cdrs know it very well the serious disadvantages of extremely short period service. 2/4. It will adversely affect both, soldiers and Profession of Arms. Mil profession cannot be on contractual basis. Esprit – de- corps and comradery will be on downhill slide.

1/4. Information through RTI, MoD sought Advice from Law Min to change est definition of OROP. Law Min advised that est definition be not changed since it will be against judgement of HSC. Yet Govt went ahead and changed definition in its Notification dated 07 Nov 2015. 2/4. Amended definition totally killed concept of OROP. Instead of “any change in rate of pension to be automatically passed to past pensioners; Govt changed to any change in rate of pension would be passed to the past pensioners at “Periodic Intervals”.

 @PMOIndia and Citizens of India,
Why the Govt is not repealing the three Anti Farmer Laws? Govt has accepted that there are many Anomalies in each law and they are ready to amend. With so many faults, why is the Govt refusing to repeal the laws as demanded by farmers? 2/n
 Why is the Govt wanting to ape the west like USA, UK, Canada etc. to bring down the farming by farmers themselves to 6% from 60%? Our conditions are different. We have many small farmers. Why does the Govt want to make them workers on their own land?

(1/5) @PMOIndia, @DefenceMinIndia, 3 Chiefs & Citizens of India. Nation which does not respect its soldiers is doomed to fail. The last bastion of the country, the Defence Forces have been downgraded & degraded to unacceptable levels. Severe discrepancies have been created in the (2/5) Military profession viz other Central Govt Services. The latest proposal of the Govt to reduce pensions for premature retirees has caused anguish to soldiers, both serving and retired. The proposal is illegal, demotivating & demoralising.

Instead of removing inadequacies of ECHS and without establishing long pending demand of veterans Hospitals, replacing the ECHS with rejected proposals of Medical Insurance Schemes is a breach of Terms and Conditions of service. 2.) It is the responsibility of Govt to provide medical care to defence personnel and their dependents both serving and retired.

2. The Govt contentions that OROP Scheme was initiated on 07 Nov 2015 is wrong.

The facts are:-
(a) The OROP scheme was announced by the Govt on 17 Feb 2014 & implementation order issued vide Govt letter 26 Feb 2014.
