Ladies and gentlemen, and specifically my brethren in uniform, spare just 6 minutes and 27 seconds to understand from Col Mukul how NFU, which the armed forces deserve the most, is being denied without reason to the officers of armed forces. Eleven years and a joke played by the government and judiciary, along with the senior hierarchy of the armed forces. Just look at the permanent commission and promotion of women short service officers- the judiciary is so proactive. The judiciary wanted to appear as a crusader for women's rights, so the judgements came quickly. I am not saying the cause was wrong; the women officer had merit in the case . However, why does the judiciary behave completely differently when it comes to male officers, whether in cases of SHORT SERVICE officers or NFU to others? It is simply because male officers are seen as rivals. Imagine a force respected and loved by the people and also treated honourably in pay and perks- that would be a massive power block. Nobody is ready to accept that. This matter will go to the 8th pay commission. Things have already been settled back door.No judgement will come, and the officers will still be standing with a begging bowl,praying for their rightful emoluments. My view on the matter is- and remember, I am a fifth-generation member of this great Indian army- stop pleading and be straightforward and assertive in your demands. Time will show you the way to victory.
