New Delhi: The trickster Modi government has also not leave retired Indian soldiers, promised “one rank, one pension” to win votes in the elections and later turned a blind eye.
According to the details, the trickster Modi government also cheated the retired Indian soldiers, promised “one rank, one pension” to win votes before the election, but later turned a blind eye.
During an election rally in Haryana in 2013, Modi had promised one rank, one pension. At Siachen in 2014, Modi again promised to approve “one rank, one pension”.
Based on the promise, General VK Singh, many retired generals and thousands of soldiers voted for the BJP, but after winning the elections, the oblivious Modi government began to act evasively.
Retired soldiers staged protests across India in June 2015 when their demands were not met, in which Delhi police brutally tortured retired soldiers and widows.
Ten former army chiefs condemned the violence in a letter to Modi and demanded the creation of a commission of inquiry. Subedar Ram Kishan committed suicide on November 1, 2016 for not complying with the demand.
So far, more than five thousand retired Indian soldiers have returned their medals in protest to the Modi government.
Despite the clear orders of the Supreme Court of India, the Modi government approved the amended bill, the retired soldiers had rejected the bill and termed it as a pension equivalent to a rank five.
According to the Modi government, with the approval of the bill, 40% of the defense budget will be devoted to pensions only. Two thousand and eight retired Indian soldiers are protesting for one rank, one pension.
