IESM : CLARIFICATION‏ by Maj Gen Satbir singh

Dear Friends,



1. All members of the Steering Committee with the positive cooperation of state, district and city convenor have been working tirelessly to run the Movement as smoothly as possible. All of us who have volunteered to do this task need to be encouraged to remain charged, motivated and enthusiastic to work for getting justice for the Defence Services. I wish to assure all ESMs of the country and specially the members of IESM that the highest form of integrity and honesty have always formed part of the cardinal principles of our functioning and management. We assure everyone the total transparency in management of funds available with the IESM.

2. However, a few of our ESM friends have made comments through e mails alleging impropriety without definite evidence, which is not only incorrect but humiliating to those who are managing the affairs. I wish to clarify the following:-

It is hereby stated that not a paisa of IESM funds has been spent while addressing ESM meetings/press conferences in support of BJP during elections.
Since, we are all part time honorary volunteers working for welfare of ESM without any staff or office support, there may have been some delay in sending acknowledgments/receipts to members for memberships fee/contributions. If any ESM who has sent his registration fee/contributions and has not yet received his receipt/acknowledgement may please write to us. Expeditious action will be taken to reply the querry.
Earlier, limited Part time staff had been employed to carryout the functions due to limited availability of funds. Shortly we will employ additional staff to speed up the office functions. Effort will be made to ensure that ESM have no reason to complain. All queries will be expeditiously dealt with.
Total collection as on 31 Mar 2009 has been Rs 2343384.00 whole total expenditure has been Rs 569363.00. FD for Rs 16 lakhs has also been made. All ESM should note that we are subject to external audit. Audited balance sheet will be placed on the website for the information of all members after submission of our IT Return.


With Kind Regards,

Jai Hind

Yours Sincerely,

Maj Gen (Retd) Satbir Singh, SM

Vice Chairman Indian ESM Movement
