Military veterans' wake-up call for UPA govt!

If Parliament is the 'Heart' of Democracy, then the Armed Forces can be called as the 'Central Nervous System', which is vital for the democracy to survive and succeed. The political class might feel proud of being the Members of Parliament of the world's largest democracy, but it had miserably failed to take care of its 'central nervous system', which is now threatening to complicate the system of democracy, which is not good for the health of the country.

 

The Armed Forces, serving as well as retired have been deeply perturbed by the callous attitude of the UPA government. They are a disappointed and demoralized lot with regards to the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission. In fact, the resentment in the Armed Forces has actually started from the third pay commission (1976) itself and it has been growing since then and has reached a boiling point now due to the total neglect by the sixth pay commission. It is high time the government wakes-up to the issue and solves it, or otherwise, a volcano is waiting to erupt.

My friends in the army and the BSF are very much disappointed by the Sixth Pay commission.
They have their own problems, over to that is the low pay, low after-service benefits and low scope of employment post retirement and people are finding it difficult in getting marriage matches...
