Dear Hon’ble Defence Minister,
It is learnt that the Secretary Department of Ex Servicemen Welfare in the Ministry of Defence has called some Ex Servicemen Organisation for discussion to form a joint approach on an alternative to ‘one rank one pension’. We in the Indian Ex Servicemen Movement (IESM) have not received any communication on the subject.
It submitted that IESM is not an organisation or an association but a federation in the form of an umbrella. It is registered under NO: DR/GGN/179 (2008-09).The IESM today represents the demand of all the over two million Ex Servicemen in the country and has been spearheading the current struggle for seeking justice.
Do allow me to mention that any decision taken without the participation of the IESM will not be binding on it.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Lt Gen Raj Kadyan
