Dear General Raj Kadyan,
This is in response to your advise to Col sohi, as a rejoinder to his view point.
He has advocated a tough stand and recommended some sort of an agitation.
You have very rightly questioned this. Yea, confrontation will not lead us
anywhere but WILL SILENCE and INACTION ACHIEVE ANYTHING?
I agree agitational approach will not lead us anywhere but what is the
alternative? FASTS near JANTAR MANTAR have not got us anywhere. And
fast by whom?Sohi has rightly pointed out the anomlies in the pensions of a
MAJOR & A COLONEL and a MAJ GENERAL and LT GENERAL. What I
suspect is thatthe people who have been benefitted with the latest govt
announcements, as most of theLT GENERALS and LT COLs have been,
theywould like to put waters on the proposed action plans.
Let us not talk in riddles if we want to really achieve something. Time has
come for some concrete steps which will yield desired results. The first thing I
would like to see is the UNITY and CONSENSUS on the chosen option or the
course of action. Let us not make half-hearted moves with NO RESULTS.
I findmost of us are good in scoring self goals and also we mightscuttle our
own moves by showing dissent. I have been seeing this happening for the last
six months that everyone in IESM or IESLis trying to become a LEADER.
There are too many people who are drum-beating their namesandprojecting
themselves. Can we have some CENTRAL SPOKES -PERSON doing this?
Finally,I find all sorts of stuff being FORWARDED on this net. Let us remain
focussed on one thing. Let us not show favour to some and reject others. If Lt
General ViJAY OBEROI's ARTICLE can be circulated by 'REPORT MY
SIGNALS"---so should be others. There should be no discrimination---After
retirement---we are all retired army officers and there is NO RANK
STRUCTURE in civil walk of life --whether a COL ora GENERAL or a MAJOR.
Regards. Rajee
