It has been long overdue and now it is the right time when the media should start treating the defence personnel the way it treats politicians. There is endless list of scams in which complicity of top as well as lower level officials of defence forces has been proved but thanks to media they are still enjoying the respect and no one is shouting to punish these perpetrators. After the recent Adarsh society scam all the citizen groups must raise their voice to make sure that all the officials and politicians who benefited from this evil peace of architecture lose their pension and rank. Furthermore, their service record should be wiped out.
Is not it shame that these selfish money launderers are / were part of the same force which is responsible for keeping our country secure. There are demands to initiate a case of sedition against Arundhati Roy but no one is demanding arrest or punishment for the offenders who are from defence forces. It seems that media is also aware of its limitation after all criticizing a writer is far easier task than criticizing those who are holding powerful positions.
Our highly revered defence officers have been involved in endless scams but they are not getting punished like their counterparts in Indian Police Service. Its high time when the democratic system makes sure that defence officers get disciplined and don't dare to denigrate the respect and integrity of their designation.
