Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said his ministry had completed all formalities in respect of the one rank-one pension scheme for ex-servicemen and nobody should try to "politicise" the issue.

"My ministry has completed all formalities and OROP will be implemented," he said, adding that the executive process takes some time. Speaking at a function in Pune to felicitate city-based war veterans, Parrikar said this issue should not be "politicised".

"People still do not know financial implications of this. The Defence Ministry has completed its calculations and there was a unanimous agreement with the armed forces on the formula," he said.
