There is a man apart.

Sir hope he has been made aware that putting hands inside the pocket during a military ceremony is totally unacceptable, before these people are posted in Defence Ministry, they should undergo a 1 month orientation schedule, so that ,they don't create embarrassing situations

He should not be called in ceremonies. File managers have no role in the functioning of defence forces.

Does he need to be told that he's at the National War Memorial and not in a park? If he's the Defence Secretary he needs to be told by the RM to mend his ways. Shameful!

Respect lies at the core of one's heart and manifests in actions. It needs no training in my opinion sir.

Even the RM is standing respectfully with his hands clasped behind. But the man apart thinks he’s an emperor, needs to follow no decorum

What a shame !!!! Atleast respect the fallen. Even after decades of service if one doesnt know the decoram to conduct themselves at the War memorial then their something wrong.

Should be kept apart from MoD too...

A soldier commands respect everywhere he goes, a civil servant gets respect in front and gets despised at the back.

Arrogance of respected Secretary at solemn @salute2soldier in front of @rajnathsingh while RM himself is in vishram and waiting for @narendramodi . The lesson on control of arrogance and etiquette essential at IAS Academy Mussorie @IASassociation @DoPTGoI @AmitShah #RepublicDay

Isn't he the Def Sec? I noticed the arrogance with which he strutted around during the ceremony as if he owned the place. Absolute disgrace on the occasion. He should have displayed a bit of discipline and decorum on such a sombre occasion.
