Former defence personnel will go ahead with their protest against the government after their meeting with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley was inconclusive over the One Rank One Pension scheme.

The ex-servicemen have planned a rally on June 14 followed by a relay hunger strike to protest the long delay in implementation of the scheme. The ex-servicemen have been demanding for a time frame for the implementation of the OROP scheme, which was promised by the Modi government.
