Theater in the media direction about Tour of Duty (TOD) on June 14 at the National Media Center. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh seemed satisfied watching service leaders who seemed uncomfortable reading the statement prepared. The head of the army even has a written answer to the question asked by the audience. He also spoke last even though the Army would get maximum imports from TOD.
Rajnath looks optimistic with the TOD set to flood the military; He will remain responsible even as ‘Marg Darshak’ after 2024. Ajay Kumar’s Defense Secretary did not say a word or asked questions with his extended term, expanded the bureaucratic kingdom, and had pushed TOD in full size instead of the pilot project should be supposed to be . Lieutenant General Anil Puri from DMA continued to blink a photo of life in the armed forces (known by young people and the media) to give trust in what he presented.
Asked whether the six -month training would be sufficient for TOD, the head of the Navy replied that the inaugurated TOD would be trained on one ship for two years and another ship for two years. Two other leaders think the best to remain a mother. Replying to another question, the head of the Army confirmed that all Army units will have energy on the basis of India. When asked whether this means the regiment system in the Army will be completed, he said it would leave but not immediately.
The government’s goal is to kill the Army Regiment system, which is the foundation of weapons and friendship that is struggling; ‘Naam, name Aur Nishan; To be sacrificed through the application of ‘Sabka Sahah, Sabka Vikas’. So, what will the Rajput Class Regiment be called, the Gorkha Regiment, the SIKH Regiment is called? Will they be allocated with the number of Army Police-Initiated or replaced by his name ‘Savarkar Regiment’, ‘Mangal Pandey Regiment’, ‘Reen Dayal Upadhyay Regiment’ as discussed on WhatsApp?
Is this PR training needed with the media flooded with praise articles that provide complete details of the scheme based on gifts given by the government and the army to ‘elected’ writers – including veterans? Ironically, this 2-3 star veteran praised the trivial TOD package while enjoying their own retirement and facilities. The same stooges have helped cover the PLA intrusion in Ladakh for 2020.
Previously the announcement of Tod was the sound of deafening ears about a very large defense retirement budget, which had flooded the media once again after the anti-tod Youth protest after the media briefing on June 14. But those who cry about defense retirement deliberately do not ask for expenses for The Group ‘A’ services and civil defense employees, questions such as:
They have much faster promotions and are granted the non-functional upgradation (NFU) allowance. All of them retire in the HAG/HAG+ grade, enjoying One Rank, One Pension (OROP) thereafter.
· The above, combined with all serving till about 60 years of age, expenditure on them is enormous (serving and retired) which is kept under wraps.
· Anout 45% of the defence pension bill still goes to civilian-defence employees.
· Those coming under the National Pension Scheme (NPS) would get 15% additional pay while in service and a package on retirement, which is far more than what soldiers earn in service because they retire many years earlier.
· Each of the seven lakh serving civilian-defence employees is five times more expensive than his/her uniformed counterpart.
