They also alleged the BJP government-imposed tax on the disability pension of soldiers and that soldier were discriminated against in the 7th Pay Commission recommendations.

While Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala will launch the booklet in Dehradun, Harish Rawat will launch the same in Haldwani, and Sachin Pilot will do so in Chandigarh, the sources said.
