Re: [IAC#RG] Justice Verma Report

Dear IESM subscribers of IAC

The Justice Verma report has been hijacked in parts by certain foreign financed NGOs (details of which I can share privately) against the Indian Army. The Committee has apparently accepted / swallowed at face value certain statements of these anti-national persons/NGOs that Indian soldiers/officers operating in disturbed areas systematically use rape as a tool of oppression. The Committee has also recommended changes in the  Special Forces Act - which go well beyond what IAC has proposed for occasional individual aberrations by troops.

Kindly be assured that IAC will stand alongside / support every aggrieved IESM or serving officer who wishes to protest this nonsense - which is an as yet unproven slur on our Armed Forces.

Dear Vidyut and other IAC subscribers.

Many thanks to Vidyut and the other members of IAC's Save India group/sub-Committee who toiled in harmony to finalise IAC's response to Justice Verma Committee.

It can now be shared that the members of the sub-Committee were continuously coordinating with the Justice Verma Committee, especially its Legal Counsel Mr. Abhishek Tewari, who even graciously invited us to appear in person before the Committee but we felt the same to be unfair to so many individual members of the public who had also responded wholeheartedly after this gruesome episode, and asked that our submissions should speak for itself.

IAC subscribers would be pleased to know that out of the about 20 core/final recommendations (at page 410 onwards) of the Justice Verma Committee 3 are directly based on IAC's submissions and another 3 are very similar to what IAC had submitted. The balance recommendations were on ancillary issues like electoral reform, child trafficking, sexual harassment in workplace etc. on which IAC had not commented at all as the Committee later chose to interpret its mandate in an enlarged manner and strayed well beyond its disclosed mandate.

As everything was shared between members of the sub-Committee, I am sure this was a good learning exercise for them and shows that team-work, knowledge of processes and determination to follow through can achieve measured results / success.
