The bias never flags

The ministry of defence’s PR cell denies accusations that it blacks out the armed forces while covering even mundane activities and statements of the MoD ministers and senior babus. But, on Tuesday, after Kendriya Sainik Board officials pinned Armed Forces Flag Day lapels on Defence Minister A K Antony, his deputy, M M Pallam Raju, Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar, and the three service chiefs, the MoD press release contained photos only of the ministers and their top babu. This is quite typical, point out military officers wryly.
