"On this occasion, taking up the issue of One Rank One Pension, I will come to Jantar Mantar in Delhi for a 'Sena Samman' rally," he said, giving a call to all former soldiers and farmers to attend the rally.

"Former soldiers and farmers should participate in the rally in huge numbers," he said.

Hazare earlier wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to implement the OROP scheme at the earliest, failing which he said he would launch a countrywide agitation for it.

In his letter, Anna said the country must take care of its farmers and soldiers. However, he clarified his protest was not political.
