Pratibha Patil: The commander-in-chief of the armed forces: Absent Hamid Ansari: Vice-president: Absent Manmohan Singh The prime minister: Absent Sonia Gandhi:Absent L K Advani: Prime minister in waiting M Karunanidhi and Surjit Singh Barnala: Chief Minister and Governor: Absent Excellent news that all these names were absent, they would have set a stage made worthless a speech or two ant tried to take the limelight out of the funeral of the a great Soldier and a true son of India. These people would have turned this sorrowful event to their advantage for publicity. Thanks God they were absent. At least the field Marshall had his field day without any problem or hitch

Its a surprise that AK Antony was absent for the funeral. He's been an honest minister in Kerala politics and has always strived to see the state doing its best.

Honest, he may be! But what is the use of that honesty when it is not translating into any action which is beneficial for the majority of this country? He is actually a puppet in the hands of his babus who keep feeding him all the wrong gen and he instead of finding out on his own keeps believing them. He is actually a nincompoop occupying a high position!

I agree with SHEETAL KAUR 100% Let the present day politicians do the harmful things as what they are doing to the country and the Field Marshall SAM's DEPARTED SOUL will haunt like Pakistan like politicians and what he has served the Mother India and for the ordinary people like me.
LET THE POLITICIANS DO NOT DO HARMFUL THINGS BY VISITING THE GREAT SAM BABU.
We the ordinary people will always remember the Great Souls produced by our Mother Country.
