Ex-servicemen associated with the United Front Indian Ex-servicemen Movement (Jantar Mantar) led by General Satbir Singh today said they had decided to support the Congress as they felt ditched by the NDA government in the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission benefits extended to them.The organisation today held a rally near Jamsher village to announce support to Capt Amarinder, who too was present on the occasion. “Our anguish against the NDA government is much higher than the hope we got from the Congress in the state. Though ‘One rank, one pension’ is a union matter, we have decided to support the Congress in the forthcoming Assembly elections to express our anger against the BJP, which has reigned for over 10 years as coalition partner in the state,” said Brig JS Sandhu (retd).
