Continuing with their protest over ‘One Rank One Pension’ (OROP) scheme, members of Indian Ex-Servicemen Movement (IESM) held demonstrations at Rajghat here on Saturday even as they threatened to escalate pressure on government with a rally in Haryana’s Ambala on Sunday. “We sought from the Father of the Nation to guide us in our fight against the injustice. Around 100 of our members who turned up here from parts of the country did meditation as part of the protest,” IESM spokesman Colonel (retd) Anil Kaul said. Kaul maintained the veterans have received no communiqué on behalf of the government over the issues they have raised and said that a rally will be held in Ambala as part of series of demonstrations. The Government had dropped the contentious proposal to exclude ex-servicemen who sought premature retirement from the ambit of OROP scheme.
