Government committed to One Rank One Pension, says PM Narendra Modi
  • 5 years ago
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that his government is committed to the 'One Rank, One Pension' (OROP) scheme for ex-servicemen. “On OROP- the Govt is committed to OROP & there's no doubt about it,” PM Modi tweeted this morning. The PM's remarks came a day after Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said that no timeframe could be specified for the implementation of OROP as a couple of administrative steps were still pending. Parrikar had said a day earlier on Thursday that all the formalities for implementing the OROP scheme have been completed. The PM's assurance has come just days after his NDA government completed an year in office. In an interview to an English daily, the PM also took a dig at the opposition Congress for trying to politicise the issue. "The previous governments don't have the right to speak about it because they did nothing when they were in power," Modi told the newspaper.
