  • Govt rejects service pay hike demand, Army to seek review

    The Army is upset over the Government’s decision to reject a long-pending demand for enhanced Military Service Pay (MSP) for more than one lakh personnel and will seek a review.

    The MSP is given besides salary in recognition of the condition and hardship faced by the armed forces while performing their duties. This concept was introduced in India in the Sixth Pay Commission.

    Many European countries have implemented MSP to boost the morale of its armed forces.

    The armed forces this time round had sought a hike from Rs 5,500 as recommended by the Seventh Pay Commission in 2016 to Rs 10,000 per month in MSP for Junior Commissioned Officers (JCO) and other low-ranking officers in Army, IAF and Navy. The proposal was turned down by the Finance Ministry thereby impacting 1.12 lakh personnel, including 87,646 JCOs and 25,434 of the same ranks in IAF and Navy, sources said here on Tuesday. If the proposal had gone through, the financial spending would have amounted to Rs 610 crore, they added.

    The MSP has two categories, including one for officers and another for JCOs and jawans. The Seventh Pay Commission had fixed Rs 5,200 as MSP per month for JCOs and jawans. This special allowance was fixed at Rs 15,500 for officers between Lieutenant-rank and Brigadier-rank.

    Elaborating upon the Army’s anguish over the rejection of hike in MSP for JCOs, sources said JCOs perform a crucial role in the overall command structure and are link between officers and men. Appreciating their relevance, the Government had granted JCOs the status of gazetted officers (Group B) last year. Officials said it was not the right thing to treat the JCOs on a par with the jawans as regards granting MSP since JCOs are gazetted officers with long years of service.

    Pointing out that the Army had taken up the issue strongly with the Defence Minister, they said the matter was discussed also among the three services and the Defence Ministry were on the same page on the issue.

    On the rationale for MSP, they said soldiers and their civilian counterparts in Central Government services cannot be compared given the fact the nature of duties performed by jawans and JCOs are more difficult. It is in this context that the armed forces for long were demanding a separate MSP for JCOs.

    The MSP was introduced in India to provide special allowances keeping in view intangible aspects of military service.

    Army operates in all kinds of terrain and weather conditions ranging from Siachen where temperatures range from minus 10 to minus 30, hot deserts of Rajasthan, inaccessible areas along the 750-km long Line of Control with Pakistan and 4,000-km Line of Actual Control facing China from Ladakh in the north to Arunachal Pradesh in the east. Similarly, Navy and IAF perform operational duties in tough conditions, they added.

  • Defence Minister nudges DRDO to get ‘nimble’ in R&D

    Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday asked the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to “introspect” and energise its research and development initiatives.

    Launching Mission ‘Raksha Gyan Shakti’, an initiative that encourages scientists and technicians to register their intellectual property, she said: “DRDO should become nimble. Refocus on R&D and be on your toes.”

    She urged the Ministry officials to use their “imagination” to translate these innovations into success stories for the defence industry and fulfilment of defence needs by taking them to “logical conclusion”.

    She said innovations should not be allowed to slide into oblivion, slackened by a sense of satisfaction just by achieving numbers in registering IPR.

    Mission ‘Raksha Gyan Shakti’ focuses on training officials in IPR (intellectual property rights) registrations and encouraging IPR culture in defence as a lesson from the past where in spite of great technological contributions to the industry, due credit was not given to the innovators.

    She also asked the Ministry hierarchy to break traditional barriers to innovations in the defence sector by bringing in transparency and bridging the existing gaps.

  • Editorial :- Bahuroopeeye Rahul Gandhi Clone of Gurameet Raamaraheem… Chale Maanasarovar Kee Yaatra Par

    Advice to the Rahul Gandhi of Kharda, the poison is not necessary, tasting is not necessary. It is clear from Congress’s activities and Rahul Gandhi’s recent statements in Germany and the UK that ISIS is ambitious for the Congress.

    >> Mani Shankar Aiyar and Navjot Sidhu’s response to their Pakistan visit proves that the ISI for the Congress and Rahul Gandhi is oxygen.

    >> Rahul Gandhi has now become a devotee of Lord Shiva in Brahminy Pradesh. In a way, it reveals a polymorphic form that Rahul Gandhi is a clone of Gurmeet Ramarahim and Asaram Bapu.

    Since the beginning of the Congress Party and their leaders since 1947 there has been history that their relationship with the Communist parties has been related.

    >> Who killed Subhash Chandra Bose by Stalin and Britain’s Prime Minister Atlee, it becomes evident by turning the pages of history.

    >> Pandit Nehru’s Defense Minister, Comrade Krishna Menon Because of these two comrades, India faced defeat in China in 1962, the result was that the land of Himalayan Terai, which includes Mansarovar, was captured by China.

    Crushed by criticism Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said in anger: Hey! Hey, what’s wrong? In Ladakh and Aksai Chin, it does not grow up to grass then why are you so angry about this area?

    This statement of Nehru did not tolerate senior Congress leader and former Defense Minister Mahavir Tyagi. He stood up from his seat and said: You do not understand the seriousness of the matter. If any area is barren then it is part of our homeland. Who can dare to hand it over to another country? My head is absolutely bald, then should I cut it off and hand it over to someone for friendship? What are you talking about

    Nehru was badly shocked by the criticism of a senior leader of his own party. His face turned red and he got up and went out of the house after taking a shower. (We were enjoying this point of view in the press-gallery)

    Rahul Gandhi is going out on a tour of Kailash Mansarovar. Kailash’s journey is a sample of devotion, but the motive is political. The Congress leaders are happy with Rahul’s visit. Congress feels that this is the right way to cut Hindutva from BJP. Rahul Gandhi’s Manasarovar visit is before the Lok Sabha elections. After this, the journey will start only after the general elections.

    From August 31, Rahul Gandhi is going to China via Tibet to Manasarovar. About fifteen days Rahul Gandhi will stay away from active politics. Through this journey Rahul Gandhi will try to show his polymorphism

    At the time of Indira Gandhi, the entire government was in the position of KGB of Russia. At that time KGB’s Chief Officer in Delhi was the President Putin of Russia.

    Indira Gandhi’s Keecha was also a possession of communist ideology.

    Rajiv Gandhi’s bodyguards were also called from Rasia.

    Sonia Gandhi’s father was also involved in Mussolini’s party. He was kept in a prison in Russia for some time.

    So, now in relation to Rahul Gandhi’s tweet house arrest, about the urban Maoists or Maoist supporters, who are also being called protectors of human rights. It becomes evident that Rahul Gandhi is also walking on the footprints of his grandfather, grandmother and parents.

    Today, on the instructions of Rahul Gandhi, Divya Ramya has tweeted in which he has also named the Sangh as a Muslim Brotherhood. RSS is poison for Rahul Gandhi and Congress and ISIS is Amrit and ISI is oxygen.
