New Delhi:
With the protesting ex-servicemen dissatisfied with the formal
notification of one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme, Defence Minister
Manohar Parrikar on Monday said that everyone has a right to make a
demand in democracy but not all demands can be fulfilled.
The minister said that the basic core
issue has been addressed and if there is a problem, the judicial
commission will look into that. He was replying to questions on veterans
being unhappy with the OROP notification issued by the government on
Saturday.
Meanwhile, Air Force Chief Arup Raha
said that the government has given directions on the OROP issue and
everyone should accept it. He said that if anomalies were still
persisting, these could be sorted out in due course of time.
The government on Saturday formally
notified the one rank, one pension (OROP) scheme for the over 24 lakh
ex-servicemen and six lakh war widows in the country.
