Looks like a case of sour grapes. Lt Gen Prakash Menon Retd. does not have any qualms about veteran serving Arms lobbies, accepting doles like ambassadorships , agitating against govt on OROP , or in parroting stereotyped and biased narratives about a duly elected government. I wonder what would be his twist on traditional motto’s of various Army regiments ! By trying to remain relevant by raising such issues , isn’t he going against the ideal view of a soldier fading away.
I am a Modi Bhakt.
I do endorse your stand that retired military personnel should not attend in uniform.
I have no problem in them attending in civil clothes.
Ask the mil chiefs and they will all say that they place constitution over their faith. Would that be true of all politicians – particularly the ones like Akbaruddin Owaisi?
This is Leftist Mindset. All across the world military personnel practice their religion. Moreover what is wrong in retired Military personnel visiting the temple inauguration. using words like hoards of people with Ash smeared fore heads, Saffron clothing…. seems like showing Hindu religion in bad light !! Mr Menon If you are not interested its you own choice. You cannot dictate others !! JAI HIND !!
A noble idea with good intent, but a bit misplaced. Firstly, if it doesn’t bother Indians that a sitting PM attends this, then a retired Chief attending it is not a big deal. Much much smaller actually. A fauzi can never have more regard for values good for India than a PM. It just can’t happen. Both come from the same stock. Then, a retired officer really has no obligation to behave like a serving one. Finally, even service officers attend mandirs etc in units..
Dirty politics is in a sitting PM attending it and acting more like a pandit than a PM, not in retired people attending, from whichever walk of life.
