Army officers
by Rajasekaran on Jan 25, 2008 04:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

10 percent of seats in our Parliament, State Assemblies and Municipal Coporations should be reserved for ex-servicemen. At least one post in the Council of Ministers both at the center and States should be awarded to ex-servicmen. This will not only be a fitting tribute to their selfless service, but will also act as an incentive for the youngsters to hjoin the armed forces.

There ought to be reservation in the IAS (and other such services) for ex-servicemen.

Idea is good but these existing Charlies should not corrupt the aging souls.

I don't agree. That will lead us on to the road to becoming a Hindu Pakistan. Reservations in Elected Houses is not a fitting tribute.
Imitating Pakistan to solve Indian problems is not a wise idea. In Pakistan there is a permanent reservation for the army. Retired or in service. Let politicians Govern the country no matter how stupid they are. Not the army no matter how dedicated they are.

I don't want to live in a "Hindu Porkistan"

Jai Hind!

I don't think 10 percent reservation for ex serviceman will make us into a pakistan.
