The Hunger strike and dharna at Jantar Mantar by the retired defence pensioners are strengthening every day. The leaders who were on hunger strike and have been hospitalised have refused food and are continuing the hunger strike. Now many widows of the war veterans have joined the dharna at Jantar Mantar.

The government is dilly dallying and delaying the decision on One Rank One pension, which was an election promise. Prime Minister Modi was expected to announce the same on 15th August Independence Day speech. But nothing happened, as on other promises.

The people who defends our land and sacrifice their lives for the country can not be defenceless in their time of need. Extend all support to the fully justified demand of the Defence Pensioners.
