The defence minister now defends himself shamefully. As a matter of fact anything can be defended, including the 1975-76 Emergency. But certainly there was lack of sincerity on the part of the Government to accord honour to the departed soul. It looks as if the govt has been merciful for a state funeral accorded to Sam. Well, it is evident that something was missing somewhere. I don't know where! Our love and respects to our departed Field Marshal.
