SALUTE TO A BRAVE SOLDIER.

WE SALUTE TO MAJOR MUKUND VARADARAJAN  WHO LOST HIS LIFE IN AN ENCOUNTER WITH MILITANT IN KASHMIR.

This is a country where Bollywood and Cricket will make media headlines.

This is a country where Army Officers will have to plead with the Govt. to give 'One Rank, One Pay'.

This is a country where a "Secular" minister says 'People join Army to die and become martyrs'.

This is a country where a Prashant Bhushan will speak for Kashmir plebiscite when our armed forces lay their lives for Kashmir.

And some useless Indians as usual will keeping saying 'I am not bothered as my home is not in Kashmir etc.' till they become victims one day. Yes. One Day.

But what we don't realize is that Army Officers too have a family which loves them and wants them as much as we are loved and wanted by our family.

Humble Pranams to Major Mukund Varadarajan and his team.

Jai Hind

Vande Mataram

For Pre-1973 Veterans,

(1)  Invalided out/ Medically boarded  with Disability  pension , whose  Disability percentage fell below 20% on Re-medical hence, the Disability pension discontinued ,

(2)   And those who have not completed 10 yrs of service, the service  element  also stopped/ not  granted  because the Qualifying service was less than the required period.  Thus these poor veterans are  not getting any pension Service Element/ Disability Element..

(3)    Those who were sanctioned with only Disability pension, and the same is stopped because   of percentage fell below 20% on Re-medical,  the NOKS  were  nor eligible for family pension.
