Govt's OROP decision won't be accepted if we aren't taken into confidence: Protestors

September 05, 2015 11:36

The ex-servicemen protesting for the implementation of One Rank, One Pension scheme on Saturday said that they won't accept the government's decision if the United Board of Ex-servicemen is not taken into confidence.

"If any decision is taken without taking us into confidence, then it will not be accepted," one of the protestors Colonel (Retd) Rajeev told ANI.

"If the government is sticking to its five-year reset clause, then it is very unfortunate. The five-year scheme doesn't go with the parliamentary definition of OROP. It is not One Rank, One Pension, it is One Rank, Five Pension," he added.

Another ex-servicemen Uday Singh further added, "Still can't trust government, if our concerns are not met then our dharna will continue."

The long awaited announcement on the One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme is likely to be made today by the Narendra Modi led- NDA government.
