Rahul Gandhi had a 45 min in-depth interaction with around 30 ex-servicemen today: Jairam Ramesh
Jairam Ramesh – MP, Gen Sec., Congress:
Today, it was Jai Jawan on the 105th afternoon of Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Rahul Gandhi had a 45 min in-depth interaction with around 30 ex-servicemen, who ranged from Lt. Generals to Junior Commission Officers.
4 issues came up for discussion:
1. Agnipath Scheme
2. Threats from China
3. Implementation of One Rank One Pension (OROP)
4. Need for a separate Ahir regiment in the Indian Army to recognise the significant contribution of the community
All the ex-servicemen were against the Agnipath scheme.
They wanted the govt to be more forthcoming about the border situation with China & acknowledged that while OROP has benefited officers at higher levels, it has not been beneficial for JCOs who leave the army earlier.
The ex-servicemen also wanted a formal and regular system of interaction with the Congress leadership on issues of national security.
