The AFA is non govt organisation registered under society registration act, 1860 and it was established in 1882 by the airman and few officers. On 15 sep 19, the AFA organised 39th AGM at delhi cantt and it was gathering of approx 300 esm to discuss various welfare measures financial allotment etc. One of from jcos/jawans fraternity Ex Sgt Saini raised the point of constitutional violation since its formation of AFA. The grievances from esm is ” AFA VIOLATING THE ARTICLE 14 i.e. RIGHT OF EQUILITY, NOT GIVING REPEESENRATION TO JCO/NCOS IN GOVERNING COUNCIL OF AFA AS 94 % STRENGTH COMES FROM THE JCOS/NCOS CLASS. At present AFA has aprox str of 90 thousands & out of this more than 80 thousands esm are jco/jawans and We asked firmly to accomplish our valid & legal demand ASAP to include jocos/ncos rep in governing council. This point has been raised by voice members, various smaller esm organisation and even individually across the country since 3 yrs in every AGM. But always above such serious points has been neglected. This is the case of constitutional and fair organisational ethics which is being violated since 1982 by different and almost all Air Force Chief intentionally. Voice of exservicemen society(regtd) as a responsible team working for different issue pertaining to empowering the socially and economically backward esm, veernari, wards who devoted 15 to 20 years of service for the nation. Our society handed over representation to AFA in written to change his by laws and include 94% rep of jcos/Ncos in democratic pattern as crores of funds has been raised on contribution of poor soldiers of indian air force.
Thanks to Air Marshal Jagjeet singh who promise our team to put up this issue with new AFA president CAS Air Marshal BS Danoa shortly (retired air force chief now).
