Choudhary, who retired as DIG in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, said a representation from the paramilitary forces was made to the 7th Pay Commission as well as to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs pressing for OROP for retired personnel from paramilitary forces as well.

“We have not heard about anything from the government... We believe the government will listen to ex-paramilitary personnel only when they take the route taken by the defence veterans — holding a protest at the Jantar Mantar. We will meet soon and decide the course of action to be followed during the dharna,” he said.
