Give military good news by Deepawali...........I request an immediate action by the political leadership to resolve the anomalies in the pay commission's recommendations with respect to the armed forces. Our bureaucrats and political leaders do not deserve such a hefty hike. It is our world class defence forces that should be given due consideration. In fact, no stone has been left unturned to devalue its status and make it subservient to the government. In spite of this we remain "second to none". If the present pay commission's recommendations are allowed to remain uncorrected, I am afraid it may prove to be the proverbial last straw.
The sons of both US vice-presidential nominees are serving in the US Army and nearly a dozen young men and women, sons and daughters of members of the US Congress, have served in Iraq. In India we will never find sons and daughters of high-ranking bureaucrats and politicians serving in the defence forces. No wonder the armed forces in this country have been systematically neglected, marginalised and downgraded in pay and status over the past many decades by the powers that be. The recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission have further demoralised the rank and file of the defence forces. This is an unfortunate development that bodes ill for the security scenario of the country.
