It is a matter of great pride that FM manekshaw is being given a state funeral, but it is really intriguing and somewhere & somehow SHOWS the lack of respect to the great general - The Minister(Defence) MUST attend as also the Three chiefs, otherwise the State Funeral,in my opinion is only notional and respectless - Hope wiser and SANE minds in the Government and the services PREVAIL - lets respect a man who is really worth all the respect we can give.
