The more I deliberate over the problem created by lowering of the status and pay anomalies of the defence services and bring them at par with the police and the Central Police Organisations (CPOs), the more I am convinced that the web in which we find ourselves today is a deliberately created situation.
What do they indicate? The non- creation of the post of CDS, lowering the pay and status of Lieutenants- General below that of the Directors- General of Police, bringing down the Lieutenant- Colonels at par with the second in command of the CPOs by lowering them to Pay Band 3 and now the alteration of the definition of the rank pay in the Special Army Instructions are deliberate attempts to equate the Army with that of the police and CPOs based on the badges of rank worn.
It is another matter that the junior officers of the police and CPOs were allowed to wear badges of higher ranks of the Army structure, perhaps with a long-term intention of lowering the status of the Army and equating them with these organisations.
Does any one still believe that the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister are oblivious of the goings on? Are the meek bureaucrats capable of doing all these on their own? I think not.

Isn’t it deliberate?
Comments: Has the President's Commission become worthless compared to a State Policeman? Honour, Rank and Status of policeman have steadily increased.
