We, the Sevice men of India never fight the government as vehemently as our civilian counterparts. That is why we are being neglected.

SAME REPLY DURING JULY 2014.
WHAT A SHAME. IT TAKES HOURS TO PASS AND IMPLEMENT MP`s SALARY BILL AND OROP YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED
It is laudable that the Modi Govt has dispensed with the strategic deception of saying what the veterans want to hear and concealing the realities of governance.The truth that OROP has not been budgetted for will dispel all speculations
