Invitation for Candle March : 23 Aug 2015
Cry India cry — Military Veterans Assaulted
The assault on military veterans, at Jantar Mantar on August 14, might go down in Indian history as the lowest point of the humiliation suffered by those who defended the honour of their mother land at the peril of their lives. Even the brutal English Empire never dared to do so. Every patriot’s heart is filled with sorrow and anger, that independent India’s freely-elected government could stoop so low as to unleash its agents of terror against its own military veterans. Veterans, who had gathered in a peaceful and legally-sanctioned protest for a cause that cannot possibly be more legitimate.
The 14th August 2015 incidents around Jantar Mantar that saw the khaki thugs of the Delhi Police beat up and manhandle our military veterans as old as 83 years, even going to the extent of attempting to take off the gallantry medals of one of the warriors, will be etched in the minds and the collective psyche of the Indian people simply because of its wretchedness and perversity. No doubt, that this was a crime and a blunder rolled into one.
It is the moral duty of each country man to ensure this kind of senseless act is not performed by any one in future for all times to come.
Therefore, we the ex Servicemen of the country request rest of the countrymen to join in a Candle March from Jantar Mantar to India Gate to condemn the attack. The time is 5 PM on 23 Aug 2015. All countrymen are requested to join in, irrespective of cast, creed, religion, political affiliation etc.
