Fauj Vs Babus: Why 7th Pay Commission Has The Military Up In Arms

While netas play politics over 

patriotism, soldiers are fighting for 

pay parity. The seventh pay 

commission says Indian Police 

Service and Indian Forest Service 

will be at par with the IAS, leaving 

the military behind. On We The 

People, we debate the pay panel's 

recommendations. Why this pay 

divide? Will politicians who are 

playing patriotic games put their 

money where their mouth is? In 

crises like the recent Jat agitation, 

the Army is often replacing civil 

administration, but is not being 

paid 

as much. Why is this so? Should 

Armed Forces have a separate pay 

commission?
