#Orop #OneRankOnePension #
WILL THIS FIGHT FOR JUSTICE SNATCH AWAY SOMEONE'S LIFE?
It is heart breaking to read constantly about the deep anguish of this country's military veterans who have been protesting ceaselessly to get Indian government into actions over PM's commitment given to them before winning the elections on one rank one pension. The fact can not be overlooked that our PM would not have got such a thumping majority without the votes of their huge chunk of community.
To read Major Guriyal Singh Jallanwala's pledge for hunger strike till his death would certainly wet your eyes here. BJP government had sent the feelers through media that it would take formal action by 28th August on OROP but only god knows why it has been held back that made it more messier.

30 Aug 2015 — Maj Gurdiyal Singh Jallanwalia a Gunner offr who celebrated his 98th Birthday in Ludhiana yesterday addressed a Veterans Rally.
As a birthday gift, he has asked his two sons one a retired Gp Capt another a retired Colonel to take him to Jantar Mantar tomorrow (monday) where he will be on a hunger strike onto death with other veterans for the OROP cause. He has told his sons to cremate him there itself and not to bring him back in case he breaths his last there.
Wonder what his grandson who is a also a serving Colonel will be thinking.
What a family of bravehearts !!!
Thousands SALUTES to Maj Jallanwalia Sir and your patriotic offsprings.
Wonder when this government will wake up. Hope it does before it has veteran blood on its hands.
How Team Modi is confusing the OROP issue, entangling it in knots...
Does this country only understand the language of violence?
Is our strength of discipline our weakness?
Does the system only cater to cheap vote bank politics where the higher values of national honour and security is irrelevant to the party in power?
