KISSAN ANDOLAN & IESM

KISSAN ANDOLAN and IESM 

When the Kissan Andolan started, I too had full sympathies with their movement. I studied the Three Agricultural Reform Bills but found there was nothing against our  ‘Ann Data’ in those Acts.  

My sympathies still continued with the Kissan Andolan because I thought that some of them have not understood the contents of the Agricultural Reforms. 

As the days passed I realized that it is not innocent Kissan who is agitating but he is made to agitate as some vested interest are deliberately misguiding him.  

Most sincere efforts by the Government India have failed to find a solution to end the Andolan, because the so-called Kissan Leaders are acting in a most obstinate manner; I have no hesitation in saying so-called Kissan Leaders have been bought by The Middleman in the procurement and sale proceeds of help Kissans and The Politicians of India who want to have a showdown with the PM – Shree Narendra Modi, since the future of all these Politicians is doomed as long as The Present Government of India remains popular among the masses. 

The Government has repeatedly said during the meetings with Kissan Leaders that whatever are the doubts or grievances of the Kissan, those doubts will be removed and necessary instruction will be issued. However, the so-called Kissan Leaders, who have been bought by the Political Parties and The Middleman, insist that first withdraw the Three Laws and then only we will talk.  

When the Supreme Court intervened, they refused to take part with the appointed committee. They refuse to accept the Constitutional Order of The Government of India, passed by a majority of MPs in the two houses of Parliament and they  refuse to listen to the Supreme Court.

Such anti-national nonsense cannot be supported by a Defence Veterans’ Organization of All India Repute – IESM – which is known for its disciplined ways of agitating against their grievances so peacefully.  

The media has even shown posters of the Khalistan Movement on the tractors. A few Pak terrorists in the disguise of Sikhs have been caught in the Kissan Rally.  

For many years, the previous Governments have been discussing the same reforms in the Parliament but failed to implement partly due to lack of support and partly due to pressure by the Rich Kissans who run Anaaj Mandis – The Middleman, which also hold mighty posts in Political Parties.  

Please understand that the present Kissan Andolan is being controlled by Rich  Kissans, The Middleman and Political Parties, with their guns on the shoulders of innocent kissans; the Rich Kissan do not want these reforms because they would lose their huge income as ‘Middleman’ and The Politicians are opposing to show The Present Government in poor light so that they may have better chances in future elections.  

I feel that some of the members of the Executive Committee also now want to support the Kissan Andolan, because they want to have a showdown with Modi – if it is show then all of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Just because OROP has not been granted in the way you want.  

As a Founder Member of IESM I demand that kindly explain to me what the detail reasons are for taking a decision to Join the Kissan Agitation which is supported by just a few 2-3 states while a majority of States are in favour of the New Agriculture Reforms.  

While I agree that the Government has not given the OROP to our expectations but does that mean we stoop so low to oppose the Government of India on issues which do not concern us.  

Does the Executive Committee of IESM realises the damage you are doing to the  reputation of The Defence Veteran Community ?  

What you are thinking of doing will not only bring a bad name to IESM but to the entire Defence Personnel Community – serving and retired.

I request The Secretary-General/ Joint Secretary of IESM to kindly forward this email of mine to all the members of IESM on your emailing list. In turn I request All Members of IESM, that since such a major decision should not be taken without the approval of the General Body. 

Since due Covid 19 restrictions, a General Body meeting is not feasible, All Members on Email Group of IESM should discuss this issue through email. 

Let us all make a joint decision and NOT ALLOW Chairman IESM to support the Kissan Agitation on Ground based on his own whims and fancies – even if the Executive Committee members are supporting him.  

I further request IESM Executive Committee to pend this decision of joining the  Kissan Agitation till majority of members of IESM approve it via email in proper manner.  

In case the IESM Executive Committee does not accept my above request, I will start a campaign against IESM on "REPORT MY SIGNAL" and show all Veterans the lowly thinking of IESM Executive Committee and The Chairman IESM.

I will make sure that All Members of "REPORT MY SIGNAL", spread over. 

Countries, will start blasting the IESM for their irresponsible behaviour. I will endorse the copies of such emails to The Three Services Headquarters to inform  them of grave action being planned by IESM to damage the reputation of the  Entire Defence Community. I hope and pray to The Almighty that better sense will prevail on all the members of The IESM Executive Committee.

With my profound regards to all members of IESM Executive Committee –

Brig CS Kamboj, VSM, Veteran.

It appears that he is reading the text prepared by some politician.

It doesn’t auger well for any retired chief
