The armed forces have vigorously protested against the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission’s report citing gross discrimination.
They say the civil servants are misleading the government about the armed forces’ genuine representation. The lieutenant commanders are placed at lower pay band while equivalent civilians are placed in higher pay band.
The argument put forward by them is quite strong that a force that undertakes most challenging tasks is highly underpaid due
to which the officials as well as the lower staff feel cheated and humiliated.
Also, their attempts to equate with civilians have always been given cold shoulders. To make their voices heard, the armed
forces have tried out all available options. They rebelled, threatened and even pleaded.
One wonders if the entire turn of the events bode well for the nation?
