IESM- Attitude towards -- IESM[ Punjab] & Silence on Brutal attack on EXMAN-Maj G S BENIPAL
Col Sohi,
Let us move on. Dont you think enough has been said on both sides about the Advisory? One final time really, the advisory was meant for a purpose. Its purpose was met even before the elections were conducted. That remains our reason, despite how many times people keep repeating that they dont agree. How many more times does it really have to be stated?
IESM is really NOT NCR. WE all over India constitute IESM.
One question. As stated by you, the localized action by Punjab (IESM) has had the required effect. Yes, I for one have been confident that it indeed would have had the effect it has had. This is laudable and reinforces the belief that localized pressures will always bear results>>>>>>> and that too in real time. Compliments to all who made the event successful.

Sir, we also feel that certain Offrs/ appt who fail to asses the grnd sit & took wrong decisions, need to be corrected publically like BJP. IESM is not the NCR only? Some appt created disunity with IESL when in crucial time to make up our value & dominations felt much more, thinking that they were the IESM. With result they got swayed away with BJP only & touched no return point, to any direction. None of our advise was taken positively, perhaps it was taken as not our prarogative to float advises. We expexted HQ to display maturity, experience & wisdom at certain places. No mid course correction was ever applied. The joint mtg to asses losses (like the BJP) have been avoided, intensionally? for future course of action. There is no need to feel shy & worry about. Unity is our weapon & must be handled & used with utmost care.

Dear Friends ,
1. I am pained at the lack of transparency in the working of the IESM Core Group and its total apathy at the events happening in PUNJAB against the exservicemen community.
2. You will appreciate that it was the Punjab [ Col SS Sohi ] unit ,which started the movement for JUSTICE much before the IESM came into existence and thereafter we have merged ourselves into the IESM. We have been taking part in all the major events with full force and unity towards a single goal set by the Core Group.
3. We had launched a major drive for enrolling members for the movement and sent the amount collected .Action was also taken to mobilise our members for the Relay Fast at JANTAR MANTAR ,so much so were fortunate to be given the privelage to man it for a number of days in continuation, which had been appreciated by all.
4. However some events of the last few months, especially after the elections were announced,, it is being felt that we ,THE MAJOR PORTION of the workers are being considered as impediments in the movement, an impression which is totally wrong ,misplaced and motivated by some persons who are out to sabotage the movement. We are committed to follow the thinking of the CORE GROUP.
5. The IESM Punjab is totally committed towards our FIGHT FOR JUSTICE and welfare of all Exservicemen and the families. We however need the full support & backing of the IESM for fulfilling the aspirations of the affected exservicemen.
6 The following points need immediate deliberations and action taken at the appropriate level--
[ a ] Our Request for the minutes of the Core Group deliberations held on 30-31 May have not forwarded inspite of repeated requests.Is it that we are being kept in the dark or there is some hidden agenda which you do not wish to disclose.Transparency is a must and will only strengthen our bonding towards our goal.
[ b ] A simple request to clear the outstanding transport-bus- charges bill pertaing to the rally of the 12 Apr 09 is still not cleared. Imagine lowering of our[IESM ] prestige for such a petty amount, reasons for not clearance are not justified and payment needs to be sent FORTHWITH.
[ c ] Exservicemen had taken out a rally to force FORTIS Hospital Mohali to release the dead body of an exserviceman , details were forwarded to you. It was expected that a firm letter for the IESM movement should have been sent to the Hospital not to harras the Exmen in future but there was silence on your side. Incidently because of the complaints taken up by the IESM[ Punjab] , the empanelment of FORTIS HOSPITAL, Mohali has been stopped wef 16 May 09 , till they change there attitude.There was no letter written to Fortis Hospital by you ,telling them not to harras the exservicemen/or a press release. This would have come on National TV, but you missed the chance.HOW & WHY - You would know. Kindly take action so that IESM remains in the news as the main body speaking for all the exservicemen of the country and not only for NCR.
[ d] ALL political parties/org/media look forward to highlight any incident, if it will help them to either increase there standing / embarras the govt / score points over others. The IESM- CORE GROUP did not react at all to the news item forwarded by IESM[ Punjab ], on the 22 Jun about the beating up and stripping of Ex - Major G S BENIPAL [ Retd] Exserviceman , working as a Revenue Officer[ Tehsildar ] in the office of the DC Ludhiana , Punjab. Newspaper cuttings as well as the dharna photos by IESM Punjab were forwarded but the silence on your part is not understood / appreciated. An Retired army offr assaulted and beaten up did not arouse any feelings at all ?? WHY ?? Because It did not happen in Delhi or Noida. The Core GROUP has abdicated from there responsibility . This matter should have been condemned by an immediate press release as well to the TV media-it was shown on national TV - The case should also have been taken up with Shri Prakash Singh Badal, the Chief Minister of Punjab.. But " NERO" was playing the fiddle when Rome was Burning . Have we become so obsessed with the OROP that we have forgotten all other issues. We had also suggested to set up a cell to take up cases with the concerned authorities /appointment of PRO to liaise with concerned HQ / Ministry , but we have not heard anything on this issue so far.. We need to deliberate on this seriously and see where have we gone wrong and time is still with us, to take centre stage for the cause of the Exservicemen.
[ e ] Kindly let us know about the Govt Orders issued for the grant of Disability Pension for the pre 96 retirees and 70% pensions for PBOR post 2006.
7 . These points may kindly be taken in the right spirit and discussed in the Core GROUP. We must remember that views of all will further strenghten our IESM movement.
With Warm Regards to all
