AT 1030H ON 30 AUG AT AVCC NOIDA
Dear All
Members from all corners of India have expressed their desire to attend the meeting on 30 Aug 2009 at Noida. The desire of veterans was discussed in steering committee meeting and it was decided that in deference to desire of all veterans the meeting on 30 Aug should be converted to ALL INDIA DEFENCE VETERANS MEET UNDER AEGIS OF IESM. AGM is therefore postponed and its date would be informed to all the veterans.
It is for information of all defence veterans pan India that a meeting is planned to be held at 1030h to 1430h on 30 Aug 2009 at AVCC (Arun Vihar Community Centre) NOIDA. IESM requests all defence veterans to join hands and attend the meeting in large numbers. My request would be to have a representative member from all districts of India. Veterans are requested to make their own arrangements of travel and stay in Delhi/Noida.
We all know that Govt has steadfastly refused to listen to veteran's rightful demand of OROP. This demand has been pending since last 25 years. Many commitees have discussed the issue and had recommended OROP in principle but the Govt has denied OROP to the veterans on flimsy grounds. Govt has betrayed the faith of veterans and after having announced OROP through The President of India in a speech to both houses (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) and also through Finance Minister in budget speech but has given nothing to the veterans. The recommendations of the Cabinet Secretary committee has approved correction of only one anomoly of 5 CPC that too under court order and Govt is misleading all that OROP has been granted to ex servicemen. This announcement is no where near OROP and is a mere eye wash, and veterans can not be deceived with this.
IESM therefore gives a call to all Veterans all over India to come to NOIDA to attend the all India meet of defence veterans on 30 Aug 2009. The main agenda of this meeting will be to think and brain storm and decide the future road map to put up a joint fight to the Govt policy of ignoring ex servicemen's demand of OROP and of lowering the morale of ex-servicemen.
Col DP Singh from Panvel has been very kind to offer refreshment to all the veterans who are passing through Panvel for this meeting. All veterans are requested to inform their time and date to Col DP Singh at
Col Rajan Srinivas has also issued an appeal to all veterans to come in large numbers to reach Noida on the 30 Aug and participate in this meeting to decide future route map of veteran's struggle with the Govt for their just demand of OROP.
I request all the veterans to kindly forward their points and names of the speakers so that agenda for the meeting can be finalised and list of the speakers can also be firmed up. Points and the name of speaker should reach to me latest by 17 August.
IESM appeals to all the veterans to donate generously to fight for the cause of ESM/W. We are looking for donors who are ready to sponsor this meet. Kindly come forward and donate generously for a good cause. Please confirm by Email/telephone to the undersigned about the donation or any other querry.

WE SHOULD RETURN MORE MEDALS TO THE PRESIDENT
Dear All
Further to IESM's call for an All India Defence Meet at 1030h on 30 Aug 2009 at AVCC Noida.
All aware that Govt has not agreed to ESM's demand of OROP and in fact has rejected the call. IESM has had an exhaustive brain storming session to discuss the course of action to be adopted in view of Govt's refusal of our demand of OROP.
While the road map of our struggle will be decided in the all India Defence Veteran's meet on 30 Aug at AVCC NOIDA, it is unanimously agreed that our struggle needs to be intesified and as a first step more medal should be returned by the veterans to the President of India. So for Veteran's have returned 15000 gallantry medals and it has shaken the Govt. In view of above all state conveners and district conveners are requested to collect maximum medals from the veterans and despatch them to the undersigned. Courier charges would be reimbursed to all for return of the medals. Conveners who are coming to attend the meeting on 30 Aug 2009 should bring maximum number of medals . These would then be centrally deposited with Supreme Commander The President of India for safe custody as mark of our dissatisfaction with the Govt policy.
NEXT DATE OF DEPOSITING MEDALS IS 9 SEP 2009 AND THEREAFTER EVERY MONTH
ALL VETERAN'S ARE REQUESTED TO ATTEND THE MEET IN LARGE NUMBERS AND ALSO RETURN MEDALS AND GALLANTRY AWARDS IN LARGE NUMBERS.
UNITED WE WIN
DIVIDED WE FALL
