    Another died for the fake schemes announced by chor party without even calculating its burden on economy. Still Modi govt has released over 5000 crores this year for OROP. Proper enquiry should be done as I feel AAP chor ministers behind this also. They r good in brain washing poor ppl

    It is appreciated that people like you support soldiers and ex-servicemen in this manner. It shows how much patriotic you are and jealous of them and their facilities which are provided by this country.

    One rank One pension is very bad system. By this there will be much more internal job politics, frauds and may be killings will happen. It will damage the honesty in the military.
    Instead govt should increase the pension for all category.
