OROP implementation before Diwali, says Parrikar

26 Oct 2015 Evaluate

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has said that the notification on One Rank One Pension (OROP) will be issued before Diwali. Earlier, Parikar had said that there are ‘technical difficulties’ in implementing the scheme but had insisted that government will fulfill the ‘assurance’ made to the ex-servicemen in this regard. Asserting that NDA government was committed to implementing OROP, Parrikar added that it was working to fulfill the long-pending demand of the ex-servicemen.

The ex-servicemen on Sunday in a letter signed in blood asked Narendra Modi for early implementation of the 'One Rank One Pension' (OROP) scheme. The veterans also said that the announcement made by Defence Minister on September 5 regarding the implementation of OROP had ‘seven serious shortcomings’. The letter accused Parrikar of ‘changing the goalpost’ every now and then.
