VETERANS ARE AGAINST IESM SUPPORTING KISSAN ANDOLAN

 16 Jan 21.,

To,
The Chairman IESM,
The Vice Chairman IESM,

The Secretary General IESM,

The Treasurer IESM and

The Joint Secretary IESM.

1. Reference trailing email dated 16 Jan 21, from Chairman IESM.
   I am deeply shocked to read the trailing email.
2. When the Kissan Andolan started, I too had full sympathies with their movement. I studied the Three Agricultural Reforms but found there was nothing against our ‘Ann Data’ in those Reforms.
3. My sympathies still continued with the Kissan Andolan because I thought that some of them have not understood the contents of the Agricultural Reforms. As the days passed I realised that it is not innocent Kissan who is agitating but he is made to agitate as some vested interest are deliberately misguiding him.
4. Most sincere efforts by the Government India have failed to find a solution to end the Andolan, because the so called Kissan Leaders are acting in a most obstinate manner; I have no hesitation in saying so called Kissan Leaders have been bought by The Middleman in the procurement and sale proceeds of help Kissans and The Politicians of India who want to have a show down with the PM – Shree Narendra Modi, since the future of all these Politicians is doomed as long as The Present Government of India remails popular among the masses.
5. The Government has repeatedly said during the meetings with Kissan Leaders that whatever are the doubts or grievances of the Kissan, those doubts will be removed and necessary instruction will be issued. However, the so called Kissan Leaders, who have been bought by the Political Parties and The Middleman, insist that first withdraw the Three Laws and then only we will talk.
6. When the Supreme Court intervened, they refused to take part with appointed committee. They refuse to accept the Constitutional Order of The Government of India, passed by majority of MPs in the two houses of Parliament and they refuse th listen to the Supreme Court.
7. Such anti-national nonsense cannot be supported by a Defence Veterans’ Organisation of All India Repute – IESM – which is known for its disciplined ways of agitating against their grievances so peacefully.
8. The media has even shown posters of Khalistan Movement on the tractors. A few Pak terrorists in the disguise of Sikhs have been caught in the Kissan Rally.
9. For many years, the previous Governments have been discussing the same reforms in the Parliament but failed to implement partly due to lack of support and partly due to pressure by the Rich Kissans who run Anaaj Mandis – The Middleman, which also hold mighty posts in Political Parties.
10. Please understand that the present Kissan Andolan is being controlled by Rich Kissans, The Middleman and Political Parties, with their guns on the shoulders of innocent kissans; the Rich Kissan are do not want these reforms because they would lose their huge income as ‘Middleman’ and The Politicians are opposing to show The Present Government in poor light so that they may have better chances in future elections.
11. I feel that some of members of the Executive Committee also now want to support the Kissan Andolan, because they want to have a show down with Modi – if it is show then all of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
    Just because OROP has not been granted in the way you want.
12. As a Founder Member of IESM I demand that kindly explain to me what the detail reasons are for taking a decision to Join the Kissan Agitation which is supported by just a few states while majority of States are in favour of the New Agriculture Reforms.
13. While I agree that Government has not given the OROP to our expectations but does that mean we stoop so low to oppose the Government of India on issues which do not concern us.
14.  Does the Executive Committee of IESM realises the damage you are doing to the reputation of The Defence Veteran Community???
    What you are thinking of doing will not only bring bad name to IESM but to the entire Defence Personnel Community – serving and retired.
15. I request The Secretary General/ Joint Secretary of IESM to kindly forward this email of mine to all the members of IESM on your emailing list.

16. In turn I request All Members of IESM, that since such a major decision should not be taken without the approval of General Body. Since due Covid 19 restrictions a General Body meeting is not feasible, All Members on Email Group of IESM should discuss this issue through email.
Let us all make a joint decision and NOT ALLOW Chairman IESM to support the Kissan Agitation on Ground based on his own whims and fancies – even the Executive Committee members are supporting him

17. I further request IESM Executive Committee to pend this decision of joining the Kissan Agitation till majority of members of IESM approve it via email.
18. In case the IESM Executive Committee does not accept my above request, I will start a campaign against IESM on "REPORT MY SIGNAL" and show all Veterans the lowly thinking of IESM Executive Committee and The Chairman IESM.
19. I will make sure that All Members of "REPORT MY SIGNAL", spread over 17 Countries, will start blasting the IESM for their irresponsible behaviour.
20. I will endorse the copies of such emails to The Three Services Headquarters to inform them of grave action being planned by IESM to damage the reputation of the Entire Defence Community.

 

I hope and pray to The Almighty that better sense will prevail on all the members of The IESM Executive Committee.

With my profound regards to all members of IESM Executive Committee –

Aviation and Air Cargo Workforce Must Be Given Priority -COVID19 Vaccination Program

 Aviation representatives ought to be considered as basic laborers for Coronavirus antibody, incorporating all workers managing Air Load at the Landing area and at the Freight Terminal and related Payload Distribution centers. 

The aviation business needs its laborers to be considered as basic when the immunization is turned out across the globe, as they will assume a basic job in its distribution.It is quintessential for Air Load Laborers who will manage Transportation of Corona virus Antibody around the globe. 

The Global Air Transport Affiliation (IATA) has restored its approach governments to guarantee that representatives in the flying area are considered as fundamental specialists during the looming Corona virus antibody crusade, when medical care laborers and weak gatherings have been ensured. 

IATA's 76th Yearly Comprehensive gathering (AGM) had consistently received a goal with this impact. 

We Air Cargo Professionals are not requesting flying specialists to be on first spot on the list, however we need governments to guarantee that transportation laborers are considered as basic when antibody turn out plans are created. The transportation of the Corona virus immunizations has just started, and as counts show, it will require what could be compared to 8,000 Boeing 747 vessel airplane for worldwide dissemination. It is in this manner fundamental that we have the certified labor force set up to guarantee a working coordination chain." 

IATA's call is lined up with the proposed Guide for Organizing Employments of Corona virus Antibodies by the World Well being Association's Essential Warning Gathering of Specialists on Vaccination (SAGE). This suggests need populaces for immunization dependent on the particular epidemiological circumstance and antibody supply situations. Inside this structure, SAGE has included transportation laborers close by other fundamental areas outside wellbeing and instruction areas including police, for instance. 

Essential job has been played via Air Transport in encouraging the worldwide reaction to the pandemic, including the opportune dispersion of prescriptions, testing units, defensive gear and in the end immunizations around the globe.

INSPIRATIONAL STORY By Wg Cdr Nasir Hanfee (Retd)

INSPIRATIONAL STORY

By Wg Cdr Nasir Hanfee (Rtd)

I can't resist sharing the story. 

This was way back in 1998. Our PSLV missile program was in full swing. But it was being done clandestinely to avoid detection by US spy satellites .The program director was Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who we did not recognize at that time.

The cryogenic engines used were secretly shipped to Chennai port from where they were airlifted by our heavy lift helicopter..

If this helicopter was to fly straight from Chennai it would have taken only 2 hours to reach the launch-site.But to avoid detection by US satellites,a zig zag route was worked out involving long halts at unscheduled places.A 2 hour flight due to this would take us 8 hrs of flying and 8 hours halt, but ensure no detection - a small price to pay.

Due to heavy load, our passenger carrying capacity was significantly reduced.We were able to carry only 12 supporting staff from missile program,including 2 sweepers to sweep and mop the constantly leaking fuel and oil from cryogenic engine.All 12 names were approved from highest echelon of government of India and the director was allowed only to change 2 sweepers, if required.

On the day of our departure, a gentleman with long grey hair approached us ."I have missed my flight and I have no choice but to travel with you all because I am required at launch-site " we had to refuse him because the names were cleared from high up and we could  neither make any changes, nor carry any extra passenger.

Just when we were about to start up, this man came to us running " Captain, the project director has kindly agreed to replace a sweeper with me . Here is authorization. Please take me on board "The Captain said Ok and he jumped on board like a happy child.

Our second halt was about 4 hours long. As we were sipping our tea we saw this gentleman sweeping and wiping the floor. We saw Some of the senior scientists ran to him and have animated conversation but he continued doing his job.

One of the scientists then approached the Captain and requested him to order the sweeper not to sweep. "sir he is our project director, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and you have to stop him please"

We were shell shocked .The Captain approached him but he simply said "I am travelling in the capacity of a sweeper and no one can stop me from doing my job "

At a loss as to how to deal with this situation, we remained passive spectator. On our next halt too, he did his duty. His simplicity bowled us over.

We dropped the men and machine at drop site and bid him goodbye.

Many years later I received an invitation from Presidents house to visit Mughal Gardens to see how much work he had done on it and judge if he was a better maali or a better sweeper. I sent my regrets as I was out of country.

I met him after he retired as President and he remembered the episode.

Tributes to one of the greatest Indians I have ever met.
