When there is such shortage of money, increasing salaries and pensions is illogical. I think salaries and pensions should be frozen.
You mean for everyone in India ??
Or you mean that the wives, children and families of the serving and retired defense personal should be taxed to ensure your security ??
Why should pension be part of Defesence Service estimates ?
Why should pension of such a large number of Babus, DPSU, DRDO, OFB. Defense civilian be part of Defense Service Estimates ??
Why can all India employees serve in Armed Forces for five years and then go to their service. That will eliminate pension burdon ??
You know only one thing...... F*c* the uniform... well that has happened enogh and many times... not any more.
Forex reserves can be used to pay for immediate needs. However it is correct that this money does not belong to the government, and will be a loan from RBI to government. But it can be used in exceptional circumstances.
There should be national inquiry into the entire gambit of defense affairs including budgetting.. why the defense budget is surrendered every years.. why there is criticality and deficiency in ammunition not made up in past ten years. Why DRDO projects go on for sixty years without any results. Why OFB ammunition and equipment fails ??
Also why Armed Froces were short changed in every pay commission and why they are being less than Police Forces.. When OROP in all aspects exists for all central govt services.. why so much is made out for Armed Forces pensions...
Methinks that an emergency expenditure between 35-50 billion US dollars will not affect India's long term financial position too much.
Me thinks our higher structure has no clues how to ensure security of the country,, by cutting pensions of soldiers or taxing Gupta Ji.
Me also thinks that Indian Security planners care more for Pakistan and China rather than for India.. every thing Indian including national interest is Baap Ka Mal... We stand deeply infiltrated particularly in our thinking..
