OROP Implementation – A Historic Decision For India!!
One Rank One Pension!! I’m sure you must have come across this phrase quite a few times in the recent days. But to your knowledge this agitation from the ex-servicemen hold a 40 year old history. From past 40 years these Veterans are demanding for One Rank One Pension but always see disappointment from the various governments ruling the center at that time.
Hence the agitation for OROP has gone even harder this time with BJP in the center again. It even has to see huger strikes and heavy agitations to reach out the govt this time.
And finally today after a long discussion Govt finally accepted OROP for the Ex-servicemen.
Congratulations Indian Govt & Indian Army For the Historic Decision. Here are some of the reactions of people on twitter which will make you understand how happy people are with the decision.
Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu urges ex-servicemen to stop agitating as their basic demand of #OROP has been met.

With #OROP @PMOIndia has announced single biggest welfare measure for ex-servicemen in last 40 years. Veterans should call of the strike now

Border settlement on Bangladesh Border-pending since 1947; Naga insurgency-pending since 1950s; #OROP – pending since 1973. All now SOLVED.

Congress outraging over #OROP is like a Father who deserts his pregnant wife & comes bk yrs later to beat his kid for not qualifying IIT-JEE

There are gaps in the #OROP announcement, yes, but surely Congress can hardly claim any superiority when it didn't move on issue for 10 yrs

Kapil Sibal is saying that the govt. has insulted servicemen. Haan bhai, aapke haath #OROP chod dete toh zero loss aur zero pension de dete.

I think, most of all, the Congress should not talk about #OROP. Itne saal jinhone nahin kiya, unke tippni ki koi zaroorat nahin.

AK Antony says #OROP announcement is disappointing. Funny,coming from a man who was Defense Minister for 8 years and didn't do even this .

Antony holding press con on #OROP its like India holding a PressCon after FIFA final. Lulz.

If a Serviseman takes an early retirement coz of injury he gets #OROP but if he retires to join pvt sector he shud not.
Fair in my opinion

#OROP.One issue solved is equal to 80%of D demand&other 5 pending issues are only 20%,which can be sorted out.No need to confront or agitate

I join many others in saluting the brave and selfless soldiers. #OROP

Decision on #OROP firm, fair, generous if late. No need for vets to continue agitation. Not fair seeking OROP for voluntary retirement cases
