What is the Indian Army Honour Code ? What is the Chetwode Code ?

I have never tweeted about these but today my conscience does not allow me to stay silent. We are told about the Honour Code by senior officers, including a Gen officer. We are told we must stand shoulder

1/n

to shoulder with brother veterans at ALL COSTS

An airforce veteran pilot with @goairlinesindia can call for dismemberment of India, he can condone death of CAPF staff, he can be openly tweet hate about Hindus but we must support him

Sorry sirs, this is NOT the Honour Code

2/n

Honour code / Chetwode Code is - Country First Always and every time. Its not a mafia like Omerta code of silence in face of anything including dismemberment of the nation

How can we forget what Maj Gen Shabegh Singh did ? He was a decorated with PVSM and AVSM but yet he

3/n

took up arms against the nation and was hunted down by the Indian Army as he deserved. A brilliant officer, a master tactician but a traitor. He got his dues

Mickey Mallick is on record with similar views. As Pilot of a passenger airline he was seriously endangering safety

4/n

due to his hateful and radical views. Do we want another MH 370 disaster on our hands ? Or a 9/11 ? Passenger safety all over the world dictates that such pilots must not be allowed to fly

What does Honour Code mandate for us in such cases ? To don Omerta ? Like Mafia ?

5/n

A public spirited veteran reports his tweets as is his citizen duty and all hell breaks loose. Cries of snitching and Honour Code rent the air

Sorry to say sirs, you have been reading the Chetwode Credo Upside Down

Its Nation First, Me Last not the other way round
