The Chief Minister, who was in New Delhi for a private event, today met protesting ex-servicemen at Jantar Mantar and expressed his solidarity with their demand, an official release said here.
The defence veterans also thanked Gogoi and requested him to put their demand before the Centre to implement OROP.
