  1. Air Chief Marshal deserves it. A dignified person who is also a man of integrity and self-esteem.

  2. The Air Chief Marshal should not have accepted this as a protest to America’s double policies. On one hand, they are putting the country on the terror financing list and accuse it of not doing enough and here is giving a medal.
