Subject: NEW UPA GOVT & IESM RESPONSE
Dear Brig,
With UPA returning to power, I have seen some mails from brother officers with 'I told you so' quotes in them in REPORT MY SIGNAL.
I feel, there is NO need to circulate such mails, which start chain reaction - HATE MAILS. IESM advisory was the BEST option at that time. NDA / BJP not coming to power, does not mean end of ESM issues resolution. ESM issues are NATIONAL issues and NOT related to any particular political party. Rather with UPA back in the seat, it should be able to address these issue (which are their creation) and remove anamolies much faster. Remember their rejoinders on OROP, just a few days before Punjab, Haryana, HP and J & K went to polls.
Rather BJP and LEFT should be approached to take up our case with more vigour and clarity for getting it through UPA. ESM issues are of utmost national importance and shoudl be addressed within first 100 days of MMS getting to power. Those ESMs, who are nationalists in their outlook (by virtue of siding with Congress) should come forward to help their other brothren by putting pressure on UPA.
Wishing all the best to IESM in their continued struggle for removing bias against injustice done towards 'SERVICES (incl ESM)' by 'BABUs'
