  1. A PRESIDENT WHO AS SUPREME CDR OF THE ARMED FORCES DOES NOT WANT TO OR MEET THE ARMED FORCES VETERENS TO HEAR THEIR PROBLEMS DOES NOT DESERVE THE HONOUR . THE TAXPAYERS MONEY MUST NOT BE WASTED ON OLD COLONIAL GRANDEUR CERMONIES AND CELEBERATIONS . DISBAND THE 61ST CAVALRY FROM PRESIDENT ESTATE AND TRANSFER THE HORSES AND OFFICERS TO TRAINING ACADEMIES WITH TENURES OF KARGILL AND SAICHEN THROWN IN FOR MAINTAINING FIGHTING FITNESS .

  2. What a farce to have horsemen guarding the President of India. Also, what a waste of public money.
    To permit such people to allow the ‘Right of the line’ position during ceremonial positions is criminal. Let us stop this drama as soon as possible.
