not a wise move by pak in my opinion. our military officers on duty in india will also have to attend their parades and they will be hearing comments like" this unit demolished PA in 71 and this unit carried surgical strike inside pak in 2016 and stuff like that. pak nay ya kam sirf iss becharay ki sarnay k liay kia hay ab wo hamari sarain gay.
Please listen to the Republic Day commentary for yourself. As I have pointed out to Pakistani friends, there is no such embellishment in Indian commentaries on Indian units; that is a piece of breast-thumping to be found only on Pakistani commentaries, and I have enclosed those for the record in that conversation (on another forum). I have invited them to hear it for themselves, and they had nothing to say. Do not make provocative statements, therefore, without a scrap of justification, merely on speculation.
We as a pakistani salute and respect this military representative of india at pakistan day show off, i hope army chief of both nations should present at each others day of celebration
I believe that he is the Military Attache. They are traditionally, all military attaches, invited to ceremonial occasions of a military nature. There are occasions when something of a sensitive nature is to be displayed to specifically chosen attaches, and on such occasions, the invitations are selective; not everybody gets it. This is obviously not such an occasion, and the military leadership of Pakistan has just done the normal, courteous thing. Not doing it is a public rebuff, not to be taken lightly.
Who is this Saideep Jadhav???
Some self-appointed busybody, encouraged by the antics of that wild-eyed lunatic, Gagandeep Bakshi.
According to Indian Army and elsewhere one can remove head gear,while sitting in an event and there were many who removed it while sitting.
He did salute in video though.
Any how Indian Army Salute rules require that one should salute on National Anthem.
When to Salute
(1). Army personnel in uniform are required to salutewhen they meet and recognize persons entitled (by grade) to a salute except when it is inappropriate or impractical (in public conveyances such as planes and buses, in public places such as inside theaters, or when driving a vehicle).
(2) When the country's National Anthem or foreign national anthems are played.
(3) On ceremonial occasions .
(4) At reveille and retreat ceremonies, during the raising or lowering of the flag.
(5) During the sounding of honors.
(6) When turning over control of formations.
(7) When rendering reports.
(8) To officers of friendly foreign countries.
Being an ex-IM vetern
@Joe Shearer can shed some light.
Absolutely correct, Sir, on all points.
On a side issue. It is one of the most obnoxious sights to see civilians taking a salute when invited to do so during a military parade without headgear. You cannot salute, according to Indian norms, inherited from the older British tradition, without headgear. An acknowledgement of the honours paid by the marching contingent, or the contingent under review, is permissible, indeed, appropriate, and can be done without headgear, but without parodying a salute.
Not standing to attention when attending an overseas function, when that host country's national anthem is played, is grossly discourteous. I cannot believe that a general officer will commit such a mistake. From the picture, the Brigadier has his hat in his lap, and presumably would have donned it on rising and standing to attention, and saluted the national flag of Pakistan.
If
If a Pak officer were invited to the Indian national day Parade he would do the same. We need to understand there is too much mistrust and hatred amongst the two nations. Did you not see how the soldiers celebrated when the Indian bunker was destroyed. It is the same hatred.
A
But what did he do? Or not do?
