New Delhi: Split in the veterans group holding protest at Jantar Mantar came out in open on Wednesday, a faction saying it did not want to hold any more protests till government issues an order on One Rank One Pension. This comes just two days ahead of a rally planned by the veterans.

Later, a statement from a group called "Exservicemen Joint Action Front Sanjha Morcha" said a meeting was held on Wednesday evening and the United Front of Ex-Servicemen (UFESM) has been "reconvened".
