TIL Desk/National/ New Delhi/ Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi addresses the media after meeting ex-servicemen in Delhi. He was accompanied by former defence minister AK Antony.”I met the representatives of ex-servicemen. They discussed their concerns over implementation of OROP. They said, ‘Rahul-ji paise ka mamla nahin hai nyay ka mamla hai’. It is an issue of respect and dignity. I can’t understand what’s happening in the country, no respect for farmers and no respect for our ex-servicemen.
“Modi-ji has announced that OROP has been implemented. If that is the case, why is it ex-servicemen sat in a dharna at Jantar Mantar for 509 days. It’s because Hindustan ki sarkar ne OROP nahi lagu kia hai. It’s becasue the Government of India has not implemented OROP. “Ex-servicemen told me that if the government tells them that they can’t do anything, nobody will have an issue. But the government has said it has implemented OROP.
“We ask the government to fulfill the OROP demands, its their right and the govt has to fulfill it. I was detained for the last two days, but it makes no difference to me. But I saw the way the family of the ex-servicemen was dragged out of their home and beaten up. Nobody has the right to do that to anyone, leave alone the family of ex-servicemen. “What the government has done is enhanced pension. It has not instituted OROP. Stop lying Narendra Modi-ji, implement OROP.”
