Ex-servicemen of Mandi Bahauddin have appealed to the Supreme Commander Pakistan Armed Forces, President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari to implement ‘One Rank One Pension’ with an immediate effect.
This scheme, if implemented, means that personnel retiring at the same rank and putting in the same tenure of service get the same pension irrespective of the year of retirement.
This appeal was made in a meeting of retired soldiers that was held under arrangement of Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Society (PESS) Mandi Bahauddin.
The old veteran Honorary Capt Amin said gap between old retirees and new retirees of the same rank and service length had increased. He said the government had completely forgotten ex-servicemen and war veterans.
