04th December:- For the sake of the country's security, the SSC Ex-
servicemen, who were part of the war of 1965 and 1971, are now wandering for
their rights. To get pension and medical benefits, they had meeting with
Defense Minister of the country as well as with COAS. But even after fighting
for so many years, they have not received anything.
In a press conference organized at the Chandigarh Press Club,
Captain Jaspal Singh and Captain RK Bharadwaj and other Ex Servicemen officer’s
said that they were joined under the Short Service Commission in the Army.
After serving 5 years in the Army, they came to know that they are not entitled
to all pension and medical benefits. Rather they are civilian. So they
cannot get all these benefits. To get their rights, they met Chief of Army
Staff and Defense Minister twice, but all in vain. Even they did not get any proper
response from them. They are also planning to meet with the Prime Minister's
office to get their benefits as soon as possible.
He further stated that there are quite a number of SSC ex
servicemen who won Gallantry Award. Many of them even received “Param Vir
Chakra, Veer Chakra, and Ashok Chakra” etc. Captain Jaspal Singh said that he
has been badly hurt by fighting for the right of his benefits. He said that
they are struggling very hard to get their benefits, but no one is bothering to
implement the same.
