It is a mixed response. There are as many voices of satisfaction as dissatisfaction. Rajyavardhan Rathore  assures over a period bottlenecks like Voluntary retirement will be sorted out. As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy. Because at least, the dead issue has come alive. .

I was watching the announcement and the immediate reactions of the armed men and most of them are very happy with the outcome but there a few , a minority who are pushing for more which is but natural...However, it is a landmark settlement especially since they have been fighting for this since 42 years ...

Yes. I agree.  ex service men it seems are determined to continue their agitation. But the minister assured them to tie up the lose ends for which a fraction of ex service men are agitating.

Usha Manohar says that only minority of the ex servicemen are not happy with the OROP annoinced. This is correct. But the reason is that the minority are those retired voluntarily. They have been kept out of the scheme. I think they should also not be deprived of the benefit.  The idea of one rank one pension is that there should be equal pension ofr same rank with equal service.  So somebody having retired volunatrily has lesser service. Why should some other person retiring later with same length of service and in same rank fet more? 

It has already been approved by the Government, PM Modi had made the announcement just now, so they will cover all other matters as well since the Modi government is committed to the cause of the nation especially that of Armed forcees , who have been receiving a raw deal until now !

Yes. Voluntary retirement issue has been solved. .

Yes PM Modi in his speech has also said that any other issues that are there can be resolved through dialouge...

Any way you look at it, OROP is a daring step. The party that kept this in the deep freeze says. It's a betrayal. Amit Shah counters, Historic move boosts the morale of the armed forces. Now the war of words started.

Naturally, they will say anything and everything now, just to pick holes ...That is to be expected from the grand old party which has nothing better to do
