This is Very Interesting Information
From a Book Called
Musings and Memories by Major General D.K.Palit (Retd)

Presumably you know who Monty Palit was, and his own (very shady) role in post-independence jockeying for position in the Army.

He was an extremely questionable character and his bid to grab power -not a coup or anything like that, but toxic nevertheless - at the height of the 1962 crisis speaks of his integrity or lack of it.

That must infuse all our thinking.
 
Don't talk rubbish and don't spread disinformation.
Nobody from the Congress or Gandhi family has to do anything to refute what a tainted individual narrated.
Whoever you are, you seem to have a two-dimensional view of the happenings within the Indian Army in the few weeks between independence - August 1947 - and the declaration of independence by the Azad Kashmir movement, October 1947.
Do some reading first, and try to go beyond your Sanghi prejudices.

Monty Palit was DMO in 1962, and involved in intrigue and political manoeuvres to a very dangerous degree. While Thapar, the Chief, and Bogey Sen, GOC-in-C East, froze during the crisis rather than taking a firm grip on the situation, Palit actually intrigued actively in the middle of the crisis.
 
No political party needs to get down to addressing military history, particularly when a known shady character makes allegations

Apparently Khaqan Abbasi(father of former PM) played a similar role in PAF and settled himself well financially too.

But justice is odd as his car was hit by a wayward stinger in the Ojhri camp explosion incident leaving him dead and his (other son I believe) paralyzed.

Either way, sycophantic self serving opportunistic types plague all institutions - just depends on existing culture to either weed them out, restrict them or enable them as in the case of Pakistan.

poor thing, seems to be juvenile, maybe recently left to fend for itself from its mom and ended up stranded way up there.
