Today, I was part of a शांतिपूर्ण yet powerful gathering at Rajghat (Bapuji Samadhi), organized by the Alliance of All Ex-Paramilitary Forces Welfare Association (AAPWA).
The occasion was to pay homage to the brave martyrs of CRPF who made the supreme sacrifice for the nation on 9th April, 1965, at Sardar Post during the war against Pakistan. Being present at such a solemn place, surrounded by veterans, families of jawans, and fellow supporters, was deeply emotional and humbling.
At the same time, this gathering also reflected a collective concern. Despite a clear Supreme Court judgment and long-pending demands, critical issues like restoration of OPS (Old Pension Scheme), recognition of CAPF jawans’ sacrifice as “martyrdom,” and fair representation of cadre officers at senior leadership levels remain unresolved.
What stood out today was the dignity and discipline with which everyone expressed their voice. There was no anger, only a शांत दृढ़ता—a firm resolve to seek justice and rightful recognition.
This is not just a protest, but a beginning—a spark towards long-awaited change for the CAPF fraternity and their families.
Salute to the spirit, sacrifice, and unity of our forces. 🇮🇳
