You have written these comments without having any knowledge of the subject.The defence services are not asking for anything more than what they had since independence. They are protesting against sudden degradation by the Secretaries Committee when they unilaterly altered the equation that the commission had maintained.You are obviously unaware of the warrant of precedence laid down by the govt determining the status of various officials both civil and military. If it is altered by the civil servants in their favour the defence has every right to protest.Supremacy of the civil over the military means the supremacy of elected representatives of the people and not civil servants otherwise the service chiefs will not be eleven ranks higher than the defence secretary. Please get your facts right before commenting.
