Please read the Press Information Bureau of Government of India, Ministry of Defense Press Release on OROP below. Shockingly vague and ignorant. Ducking the issue really. How many more decades would the Veterans again have to wait for the OROP, AFTER every Government- UPA and NDA agreeing to its implementation, so close to touch down????? Does it not reflect the failure of the Legislative to assert its superiority to set laws and enforce them? How many Veterans are comforted with this? If MoS (Defence) Rao Inderjit Singh has a Survey conducted on this khanapuri style bureaucratic reply, the Government would realize (as if it does not know), that far from being helpful, the DESW and the CGDA mentioned by the minister, are the PROBLEM themselves. Staffed by an indifferent and ill informed bureaucracy, the DESW carries a sad record of hostility towards the very people whose interest it is meant to guard. In any other field such disloyalty would be termed treachery. A similarly apathetic Customer Care department in any commercial organization would definitely cause the concerned organization to be commercially wound up. While Mr Rao Inderjit Singh would obviously have ticked off this item on his To Do list, equally obviously he has neither exercised his mind, nor asserted his partys mandate. Part of continuity?
