Alleging that leaders from various political parties are occupying the lands belonging to retired ex-servicemen, Andhra Pradesh Confederation of Ex-servicemen Organisations (APCESMO) has said that the land owners have been doing the rounds of courts for justice.
At a meeting here on Sunday, D. Sekanna who assumed the office the president of the confederation said that 13 district welfare bodies had come together for the first time to make their voice heard at the State and national level.
Among the major demands of the confederation is strict adherence to the implementation of Government Order providing 2% reservation for ex-servicemen in the government jobs and maintaining a backlog register at all levels.
Alleging that many cases pertaining to ‘fake beneficairies’ given jobs under the ex-servicemen quota are pending in the courts at many places, he said that the onus of proving the ‘status of ex-Servicemen’ was falling on the genuine applicants to get their due.
