A week after OROP announcement, veterans to go for 'Sainik Satyagraha' rally over sticking issues
Around 10,000 veterans from across 14 states are expected to take part in the rally.

It has been a week since the Narendra Modi government announced One Rank One Pension (OROP) for military veterans, but it has failed to end the protest by ex-servicemen at Jantar Mantar in the national capital.

The veterans are slated to hold a massive rally, dubbed the 'Sainik Satyagraha', on Saturday. Around 10,000 veterans from across 14 states are expected to take part in the rally.

This comes as the protesting ex-servicemen have rejected the One Rank One Pension Scheme announced by the government.

They have opposed the once in 5 year increment policy demanding an annual increment. They have also demanded the inclusion of those who opt for premature retirement.

What's your reaction?
