Karnik said Parrikar had good intentions with regard to the matter but blamed the bureaucracy and Finance Minister (Arun Jaitely) for dragging it to the disappointment of ex-service personnel across the country.
"Government is paying lip service to ex-servicemen's cause. Bureaucracy is playing its own game on One Rank One Pension issue," he told PTI.
"Parrikar is a good man but Finance Minister (Arun Jaitely) has sent the file back," he added.
