🛑 Why This Protest Matters
This protest is not just about pensions. It is a larger movement demanding justice, parity, and dignity for jawans who dedicate their lives to the nation. Over the years, several anomalies and policy gaps have deeply affected retired PBORs (Personnel Below Officer Rank), leading to mass dissatisfaction and unrest in the veteran community.
📢 Final Words:
The Sabka Sainik Sangharsh Committee urges every retired soldier, especially JCOs and ORs, to rise in unity and participate in this historic protest. The message is clear:
“Now or Never – Justice for Soldiers!”
