The government will fully follow the Supreme Court's order on granting permanent commission to women in the Army, Minister of State for Defence Shripad Naik informed Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
Responding to a question by TMC MP Saugata Roy on permanent commission for women, he said, "We don't do any discrimination. We will fully follow the Supreme Court's order."
In a written response, Naik said, "The government is committed to comply to the judgement regarding granting Permanent Commission to SSC (short service commission) women officers in Indian Army as per their qualification, professional experience, specialisation, if any and organisational requirement."
