New Delhi, Sep 05 (ANI): Congress party on Saturday said that the announcement of OROP by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar was disappointing. Former Defence Minister AK Antony said that the OROP was a scheme initiated by UPA. He stated that UPA was always sincere for ex-servicemen adding that no government has increased the pension of servicemen as UPA government. Congress leader Kapil Sibal said that the way BJP government has said that after 4 decades it has taken the initiative of implementing OROP, it is an insult as UPA had already accepted its implementation.
