OPEN DEFIANCE OF DIRECTIONS OF RAKSHA MANTRI
It’s well known that
disabled soldiers are not getting the respect that they deserve from the
officialdom.
The enclosed brief on a
subject which affects more than 80% of disabled personnel would show that
Antony is not practically in saddle of the Defence Ministry and that the
Ministry is deriving sadistic pleasure out of the miseries of defence personnel
in general and disabled in particular. The value ascribed by the Defence
Ministry to Antony’s word becomes clear as a crystal from the enclosure.
In this matter, clear cut
directions of the Raksha Mantri, who is personally monitoring the issue, have
been flouted, contravened and annihilated by the Department of Ex-Servicemen
Welfare of the Ministry and its lawyers, all of whom have misguided the Supreme
Court on an issue in which the RM himself had passed directions that such cases
in Courts be put on hold till he took a final call.
The Retired Defence
Officers’ Association (RDOA) has officially written a detailed note on the
subject to the RM as well as the Law Minister
One wonders who rules the
roost when nobody in the entire system is even amenable to the directions of
the highest political executive in the Ministry!
As on date, most of the
litigation by the Union of India in the Supreme Court is directed towards
disability pension cases involving disabled defence personnel, and govt lawyers
are reluctant to let go since they earn out of this morbid vicious cycle.
