The statue needs lighting and fencing, not police protection: Air Marshal Cariappa

CC Staff

Field Marshal’s son Air Marshal(Retd) K.C. Cariappa opined that the statue of Field Marshal Cariappa requires more lighting around the area and the place needs to be fenced off, instead of deploying police staff to protect it.

Speaking to Indian Express he said that though the Field Marshal’s statue is found in other parts of India also, no such incident has ever taken place, adding that it was painful for him see such an act against a person considered as the Father of Indian Army.

I feel it was the handiwork of a mischief monger or a deliberate attempt to irritate people of Coorg. Knowing that Coorg has a long tradition with the Army and home to many ex-servicemen, the angry reaction was expected.

I wonder what is the motive behind this? Why did one single out Cariappa Ajja and do this? Who do you think did this?
