Dear Colleagues,

I could not watch the TV in daytime today. However, from around midday onwards there has been a flurry of telephone calls from different parts of the country on the President’s address to the joint session of the Parliament. Everyone is applauding the efforts of the IESM in getting OROP to the point that it has reached. I pass it on to my colleagues who weathered it out on the Jantar Mantar pavement.
The exact words used by the President in her address will be known only through the print media on June 5. However, one is happy that the government has considered OROP issue important enough to be included in the Presidential address. One also hopes that the OROP is sanctioned in full without riders so as to give the veterans a sense of justice.
Best regards,
Lt Gen (Emeritus) Raj Kadyan, PVSM, AVSM, VSM
Chairman IESM
