Indian Military Veterans
It is really a bad state of affairs in our country - there is no value for the promise of a Prime Minister . This leads to such a decision to end ones life because of this unbearable situation.
Dear veteran brothers, please be united for the common cause like OROP.
From,
Lt Col Ravi Shankar Tripathi (Retd)

Delhi 110092.
To,
The Supreme Commander of All Three Forces of India,
The President of India
Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi
DUE UNBEARABLE ORDEAL OF FASTING ESM, I REQUEST PERMISSION
TO END MY LIFE
Dear Sir,
I am a retired army Officer with a spotless service of 25
years. I have been watching the promises and more promises of our endless
leaders since 1982 and even the present
Prime Ministers since Nov 2013 regarding payment of One Rank One
Pension. The parliament has passed it and even the Hon'able Supreme Court has
upheld it. But still no govt has translated their promises into action.
You being our Supreme commander, I am writing this to you. I
have given up any hope from any govt of this country and feel ashamed when I
see my brothers of the age of 80-85 years old sitting on fast at Jantar Mantar
for the last 36 days. You will appreciate that this agitation has been totally
peaceful despite all the provocations. May be that is precisely the reason that
nothing is moving at the govt's end. But at the same time I can never allow my
brother ESM to take recourse to violence, as all soldiers love their country
more than any one. I will never allow my brothers in active service to break
the sacred thread of democratic traditions. Some head of the country said “You
guard the national boundary and I will guard your welfare”, but in INDIA it is
a different story.
I find myself a failure towards my brothers in and out of
the Armed Forces. I am losing the desire to live. As I can not even fight with
the powers that be at the helms of affairs as any violent fight with them may
cause irreparable loss to my country. I also can not tolerate my countrymen
saying that, if a Prime Minister cannot keep the promise
given to soldiers of his country what promise he can keep to the Nation.
I am sure you will agree that if a soldier cannot live with
dignity at least he should be allowed to die with dignity
In view of the above, I kindly request for your permission
to end my life as it has become unbearable for me to live any more.
Anyway, the date, place and time will be informed once a positive reply is received from The Supreme Commander
