What's with this constant buring of official vehicles? Indisquise, the scene looks more like Fallujah than Thapathali. Law & Order situation is deteriorating day-by-day. Now to Pyar Jung.....his jethan is Bhekh Bdr, so i don't think that has anything to do with his income. I heard from a friend of mine who's in the army "...a COAS stands to make 3-5 crore during his tenure from the kickbacks from various contracts, rations, weapons and ammuninations purchase, etc. Then, there is money coming from the UN operations around the world that gets siphoned off. The army's huge account at some bank compels the bank to kick in some "percentage" towards the generals who are responsible for setting up the account.The army's funds at the bank(s) are in crores. Furthermore, I think, his wife, at one time, was running Mary Stopes Clinic. M. Stopes runs various family-planning programs in the country and gets the funds from abroad. So, there's another source of Income, legitimately or otherwise. I'm sure Pyar Jung was ok with having to spend a couple of crores to have a son-in-law from the former princely state of Baroda. I'm sure India had something to do with Pyar Jung not being sacked. The groom's sister is married to the son of late Madhavrao Scindia, JYOTIRADITYA RAO SCINDIA, the current maharaja of Gwalior and a Lok Sabha member from Congress(I). We all know the clout Congress(I) or,for that matter, any other party in India has over the Congress party of Girija Prasad.
