Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that the implementation of 'one rank one pension' for veterans was a significant step towards reaffirming the nation's gratitude to its heroes.

In a post on X, he noted that the scheme, a promise of the BJP before the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, was implemented on this day.
