New Delhi : A committee looking into the defence personnel’s demand for pay review Thursday made a presentation before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, an official release said.
“The committee of secretaries headed by the cabinet secretary (K.M. Chandrasekhar) on matters related to ‘One Rank-One Pension’ made a presentation to the prime minister. Those present were Finance Minister (Pranab Mukherjee), Defense Minister (A.K. Antony), Home Minister (P. Chidambaram) and Minister of State (Personnel) (Prithviraj Chavan),” the statement said.
The government formed the panel after many ex-servicemen returned their medals to protest against the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations and the rejection of their ‘one rank one pension’ demand.
