Behaviour of protesting ex-servicemen unlike that of soldier: Manohar Parrikar

VASCO DA GAMA: The behaviour of ex-servicemen protesting the notification on OROP scheme is "unlike that of a soldier" and they have been misguided, defence minister Manohar Parrikar said on Tuesday, a day after the war veterans decided to return their medals. He termed one rank, one pension (OROP) decision as his biggest achievement in the last one year and said it was the BJP government that had finalised the measure. "This is unlike a soldier. Whoever are still protesting despite the announcement are being misguided," he said. Parrikar said that if there are any grievances, the ex-servicemen can present their case to the judicial commission that will be set up for this purpose.   PTI
