The Wire Staff The Wire Staff RIGHTSSECURITY 05/NOV/2019 New Delhi: News that the Army headquarters is in the process of finalising a code of conduct which its veterans will have to follow has met with open criticism from retired officers, who in the recent past have not minced words in hitting out against government, army and political practices. The plan to hold Army men and women to a set of rules even after they retire was disclosed by Lieutenant General Ashwani Kumar at a news channel appearance. Newspapers like Times of India and Telegraph have both revealed that sources had told them that the army was planning to have serving officers sign an undertaking promising that they would adhere to the code even after retirement. “But the code is still at the discussion stage…there is nothing final yet. Moreover, the Navy and IAF will also have to be consulted too,” a senior officer told TOI. In their report on a possible code for veterans, ThePrint has said that the Army Act covers only serving officers. Veterans are, therefore, not bound by it, even though they can retain their ranks after retirement. Once they retire, Army officials’ actions come under the Indian Penal Code. According to several reports, among veterans who have been critical of the purported move by the Army are Major General (retired) S.S. Chohan, Brigadier (retired) V. Mahalingam, Major (retired) Navdeep Singh and Colonel (retired) Ashok. More veterans are understood to have spoken to the above-mentioned news outlets under the condition of anonymity. Code of conduct for veterans won’t be legally binding: Army clarifies Downplaying the controversy which was triggered after former Adjutant General of the Army, before his retirement, said a code of conduct is under consideration, the Army clarified that if and when it takes shape it will only be in the form of an advisory. Abhishek Bhalla New Delhi November 7, 2019UPDATED: November 7, 2019 11:26 IST Officials said whatever code is made it will not be without proper feedback from the veteran community and they will be taken on board and their suggestions will be taken.

The first and foremost is the need for all of us to speak in one voice. Speaking in multiple, differing and dissident voices only weakens our case and needs to be eschewed. The second is our attitude and response to NPS. Almost all over the world, defined-benefit schemes of the type we are accustomed to are giving way to defined-contribution schemes of the NPS type. We cannot wish this away. Rather than fighting for the abolition of NPS, we should strive to see how best the long-term interests of all of us-the present and the future NPS pensioners and their families could be safeguarded . The third is healthcare. The Central Government is lagging behind a number of State Governments in this regard. Many CGHS empaneled hospitals are turning away CGHS beneficiaries, not to speak of the new RELHS & CTSE card holders. The scheme/principle of referral only adds to the problems.It is high time we make all out efforts to get in place a unified healthcare scheme for all
