Black Independence Day, cry OROP protesters at Jantar Mantar

As police and the NDMC men started clearing the protest hotspot in the heart of Delhi, the ex-servicemen refused to go away and alleged that cops manhandled those protesting quietly.

IndiaToday.in New Delhi, August 14, 2015 | UPDATED 13:33 IST
resisted eviction from the protest site at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar by the Delhi Police and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation, which were trying to clear the area in view of the security concerns ahead of the Independence Day on Saturday.

The eviction came under severe attack from the veterans who called it a "Black Independence Day". As police and the NDMC men started clearing the protest hotspot in the heart of Delhi, the ex-servicemen refused to go away and alleged that cops manhandled those protesting quietly. "I was pushed by the cops who even tore my shirt," 82-year-old Vishambhar shouting anti-police slogans said.

A group of ex-servicemen demanding One Rank One Pension have been on a relay hunger strike at Jantar Mantar for the past two months. Terming the police action as Black Independence Day, group captain (retd) VK Gandhi said, "The way police have acted against us just a day before Independence day is unjustified.If there was a security concern they should have discussed with us before. Now we will continue are protests from Jantar Mantar and if they arrest us, we will continue it in jail. It is a black Independence day as they have tried to curb our independence."



A final decision on the agitation will be taken on August 15 as the ex-servicemen hope an announcement may be made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on that day,

Ex-servicemen at the spot said the police action was "barbaric" and "undemocratic" and requested police commissioner BS Bassi to restore their tents. "This is shocking and obnoxious. Nothing can be worse. We are the protectors of India's Independence. We are requesting the Police Commissioner to restore our tents since we had permission. The move to remove our tents is barbaric, undemocratic and dictatorial as it comes on the eve of Independence Day," Maj Gen (Retd) Satbir Singh, Chairman of Indian Ex-servicemen Movement.

However, senior police officer claimed that it was a drive by NDMC to clean the area and cops were assisting them. In the drive they were removing all posters, banners and tents. "As Delhi is on a high alert ahead of Independence Day so we are removing the protestors to ensure security," a senior officer said.

Kejriwal, Rahul join cause

Politicians from the opposition Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party were seen at Jantar Mantar in solidarity with the protesting ex-servicemen. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal criticized the eviction and urged Modi to accept on Independence Day their demand for One Rank One Pension while Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Jantar Mantar later on Friday.

"Ex-servicemen being forcibly thrown out of Jantar Mantar? Bizarre. They protected us till yesterday. Now they are a security threat for Independence Day?" the Aam Aadmi Party leader tweeted. "Within a year, the NDA has started behaving the way UPA behaved in its second term. This is how UPA-II would crush movements," Kejriwal added.

Congress spokesperson RS Surjewala demanded Modi should apologise for the eviction. "Everyone concedes that Modi government na kisaano ki, na jawaano ki, sirf beimaanon ki," he said. "The Prime Minister should announce OROP. He should also apologise to the former servicemen and Army men," Surjewala added.

"Congress condemns what happened at Jantar Mantar today. This will have a bearing on the morale of our defence forces," parliemantarian Deepender S Hooda said. "We extend our full-hearted support to the demand of OROP. It's been one and half years. Why has the government not fulfilled this demand?" he asked.

"Slamming the "delay" by UPA in granting 'one-rank, one-pension' for ex-servicemen, Narendra Modi today accused Congress of playing "fraud" with the armed forces

He hit out Congress on one-rank, one-pension issue. After Rahul Gandhi's push, the government accepted the long-standing demand of ex-servicemen for 'one-rank, one-pension' and allocated Rs 500 crore for the fund a few days back. This decision is expected to benefit around 30 lakh retired personnel of the Armed forces. Modi wondered why the government did not bring this proposal in previous budgets"

lol...Bhaktofobia has reached a new level of desperation....this coming from a well known khangressi, the same congress party who reduced pension of army men in 1975 and increased the pension of their own MP's, the same Congress who promised OROP countless times but failed. And then at the end you allocate a measly Rs.500Cr for something which needs nearly Rs.8000Cr.

Khangressis and their supporters should just shut up as Raga and AAPtards where chased out by the officers themselves and shamelessly politiced this issue after 60 days :lol: Bunch of shameless opportunistic politicians..

Veterans themselves aren't against Modi Govt. they have claimed it themselves...

Yes...really :lol:

Do you ever read the shit you link or do you google search and take the link with best looking Title :rofl:

"It is not about Congress or BJP. The bureaucrats lack the will. They do not want us to get our due. They have convinced the government that there is some problem with calculations regarding OROP formula. Politicians lack the spine to put the bureaucracy in place,"

Fifteen months ago, when Narendra Modi, then in the run up to the 2014 general elections, promised to implement OROP, ex-servicemen were a vote-bank. Now, no one is talking about the issue. They say there are complications in the definition of OROP. Were things different when he made the promises,” asked Col (retd) M S Ahuja (73)

“On May 26, it was expected that he would announce something, why did he not,” asked retired Warrant Officer N Singh.

Personal Opinions, which will all wash away once OROP is finalized


Yes, Modi term is for 60 months if you do know..so he still has 45 months for his promises..This is just pressure tactics knowing well govt. is serious about this... They did not bother with Congies as they knew they would never get OROP.

It will come soon, along will come the increasing sales of Burnol plus to Congress and Aaptards

We muslims of Lucknow will always vote for moderate parties, not those that have committed countless genocides. When something like Gujarat happens it leaves an image, crystallized and always remembered. BJP can do whatever it wants but it will not get muslim votes, especially since they are communal and have alliances with shiv sena and rss. Surprisingly this despite the fact that a congressman killed Gandhi who was indeed a great man.

I strongly advise you not to push your gold into our cart, because once it touches the cart it becomes dirt, yes dirt as it is an imposition on us and one mans gold can be another mans rubbish. If you do not give us basic rights then why do you complain.

Muslims will vote for whomever they see fit. Many won't vote because they love Pakistan. Thats the choice of the muslim that lives on that side of the border what he wants to call himself.

But why delay? Wasn't your magician moaning about the delay during 2014 elections as posted earlier? How is BJP any different to Congress as it claimed previously...
