Absurd reasoning.OROP will have 'cascading' effect...so has maintaining Armed Forces.Do away with them,disband them and try staying Soverign with out them.It is a very peaceful world and we have the most amiable neighbours indeed...Paramilitary forces will demand their pound of flesh!Understand that they are PARA military forces. Most bureaucrats think that it is forces equipped with parachutes. If they have ,as strong a case,(something discussed threadbare and conceded by even SC) give them..They have not even put up a case yet...some one on instigation suggested  a ploy for for the govt.to try out...Railways will ask..Well,if they have a case as strong as the Armed Forces.a solution will have to found. Governance is not enlisting  slaves and then driving them to annihilation.Every argument against OROP is advanced by either a highly prejudiced bureaucrat with acute inferiority complex and an abysmally low self esteem,or  a moron,nay a country hater.What do they do any way,every even mildly challenging situation is promptly handed over to the Armed forces,from rescuing kids trapped in uncovered man holes to ,minor breaches of peace to riots to natural calamities and scoot.All opposition is by some demented minds,senior ministers not excluded..
