Intro: नई दिल्ली: पूर्वसैनिकों ने आज प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी से स्वयं के लिए राजनीतिक प्रतिनिधित्व को बढ़ाने के लिए गुहार लगाई है. मुख्य तौर पर दिल्ली और हरियाणा से आये पूर्वसैनिकों ने कहा कि उन्हें राजनीतिक क्षेत्र में और अधिक प्रतिनिधित्व चाहिए.

पत्रकारों को संबोधित करते हुए कर्नल संतपाल ने कहा कि उन्हें विश्वास है कि प्रधानमंत्री मोदी उनकी मांग को सुनेंगे और इस दौरान उन्होंने विनती करते हुए कहा कि उन्हें पोलिटिकल सिस्टम में ज़्यादा प्रतिनिधित्व दें. कम से कम हमे 5 फीसदी का प्रतिनिधित्व दिया जाए और इसके साथ ही राज्य सभा मे मनोनीत भी किया जाए.

उन्होंने आगे कहा कि जैसे सिने सितारों, खिलाड़ियों और साहित्यकारों को को राज्य सभा मे सांसद बनने का मौका मिलता है वैसा हमे भी मिले. पूर्वसैनिक निःस्वार्थ भाव से कार्य करते हैं चाहे वो किसी भी क्षेत्र की बात ही क्यों न हो.

संतपाल ने आगे कहा कि अगर आप अमेरिका और इस्राएल को देखेंगे तो पता चलेगा कि वहाँ पर जो राष्ट्रपति और प्रधानमंत्री हैं उनमें से 95 फीसदी लोगों का सेना से संबंध रहा है.

Body:kindly use.
