The government has reportedly refused to accept the demand of the armed forces to allow military representation on the High Powered Committee, which has been formed to resolve the anomalies in the pension and benefits for the defence personnel.
Top sources at the Centre have told NDTV that the government cannot agree to the demand as the panel was formed during the sixth pay commission and now it's a little too late to allow defence representatives on board. The Prime Minister is expected to make an announcement on the issue in his Independence Day speech on August 15.
The sources added that the panel, which was formed by the Prime Minister, will have to address the concerns of the armed forces in the way issues were handled during the sixth pay commission.

Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma had reportedly written to Defence Minister AK Antony last week, objecting to the panel headed by the Cabinet Secretary.

IT IS FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO SPEECH.BUT HERE A MEMBER IS NOT IN PANEL OF EFFECTED PERSONS & NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK. WHAT JUSTICE WILL BE THAN GIVEN TO ARMED FORCES. THUS IT MEANS DOWN GRADATION & DE GRADATION IS ACCEPTABLE TO GOVERNMENT IF IT IS SO THAN NO ARMY IN WORLD CAN WIN A WAR WHEN FORCES MORAL IS IN BOOTS. KINDLY DO SOME CONSTRUCTIVE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
i have full cofidence on PM.
5It is this misplaced confidence in the Netas and Babus, the main reason for bringing the Armed Forces down and under to everyone as it is today. Perks and privileges of MPs, MLAs, IAS, IPS and the rest of the Indians are decided for themselves, but not the Armed Forces,which has no voice or place to take their rightful grievances.
