hello,
Its a bit of a surprise that the Government accepted OROP only for personnel below officer rank. In hindsight it's perhaps not surprising , as this government does not know what is power politics or Mao's dictum 'Power comes out of a barrel of a gun'. How could they divide a cohesive force ? Surely they must know that the only force that holds India together is the Army. Let any one argue, but cannot be blind that as on date the Army withdrawal from J&K and the North East will open the doors of secession from the mother country.So why did the government do this ? It's food for thought.\
The above was written some years back, but now the Modi government has accepted some points of the OROP and made it applicable to officers as well. One can say that Modi has taken an historical step, but overall, it looks a bit moth eaten as many of the provisions are diluted. Obviously many veterans are not happy.
Despite its flaws the sanction of OROP is itself a great step forward and the ex servicemen must discuss with the government further improvements in the scheme.
