Marshals in the Rajya Sabha have stopped wearing their peak caps as the first step in an ongoing review of their uniform ordered by chairman of parliament’s upper House M Venkaiah Naidu this week. Taking note, Naidu said, “As I have said, nothing reflects like an army. That is the simple thing. That should be done and the process is on.” Their new uniform had sparked off criticism including from former Army Chief General Ved Prakash Malik who had described the attire illegal and a security hazard.
