Finally there is good
news for more than 20 lakh retired veterans of the Armed Forces. An assurance
to implement the one rank-one pension (OROP) was given to the veterans by
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar here. The veterans had organized a rally at
Jantar Mantar to protest against the non-implementation of the OROP.
The defence minister, who
invited a delegation of veterans, assured them of the positive outcome on four
key issues, including getting all sanctions before the Budget is presented on
February 28.
