In West, you do everything else on Remembrance Day, but you do not insult your Armed forces and the trivialise sacrifices of your soldiers. Some people really thought it was really smart move to pass crass and derogatory remarks about your own Army, dismiss their sacrifices, abuse your very own and a very fine Army chief on Defence Day (of all the days). just because he made a speech saying we are prepared to defend ourselves in every single way (a clear message to India). So when you say things like this and in such manner, how can you not have your agenda and intentions questioned? When you act like this, how do you expect people to interpret your behaviour?
We still have War Veterans from 1965 war, civilian survivors and witnesses, but some people don’t have the basic decency and courtesy to respect those people’s memories and experiences, but they have the galls to protest over lack of courtesy and considerations given to them.
