"OROP : TROOPS CHEER , OFFICERS FEEL LEFT OUT" -

Gen Harwant's article of Sep 08 is a good reminder that we are not likely to get anything out of the UPA govt. I feel that we should keep our powder dry till something comes out in writing. I was talking to AG's Br this morning and they were unaware as to what is in store ESM. Even the Secy ESW Dept was clueless. The gen feeling is that the govt wants to split the offrs and PBOR and deal with them piecemeal.
We should act on the following lines:-
a) All ESM orgs should give in writing to IESM that they support it fully and if necessary become its members. Numbers matter.
b) The thrust should be to fight the case of PBOR with greater gusto as they have been shortchanged, as per AG's Br, and their will to seek their dues may weaken.
c) Agree with Capt Bala that we should go to court with comprehensive case, covering all ranks.
d) The BJP seems to have been fooled by the word OROP used by the FM, not aware that it has been used wrongly, as the PBOR have only been brought upto the 5th Pay Comm level. BJP must grill the UPA in the current parliamentary session on this falsehood.
