Modiji please stop lying and implement OROP: Gandhi

New Delhi, Nov 4 (IBNS): Calling the implementation of one rank one pension (OROP) by Narendra Modi as 'only a pension enhancement', Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Friday attacked the Prime Minister and said he should stop telling 'lies' over the issue.

"What Modiji is calling One Rank One Pension is only a pension enhancement not One Rank One Pension.So, Modiji please stop lying and implement OROP," Gandhi told media.

Gandhi met ex-servicemen to discuss their concerns over implementation of the OROP.

Gandhi said the proper implementation of the scheme is crucial as it concerns the dignity of the soldiers.

"OROP is not about the money but about the dignity of our soldiers, about justice for our soldiers," he said.

The issue of OROP once again triggered a debate recently after ex-serviceman Ram Kishen Grewal committed suicide over the matter.
