Harinder Bedi

To, Shri Rajnath Singh ji Hon’ble Minister of Defence Government of India South Block, New Delhi – 110011 Subject: Posthumous Honour for Captain Manjinder Singh Bhinder – A True Hero of the Nation Respected Sir, I write to you with deep respect and a sense of patriotic duty to appeal for the posthumous recognition of an extraordinary officer of the Indian Army — Captain Manjinder Singh Bhinder, who made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty on 13th June 1997, exactly 28 years ago. Captain Bhinder, a Cavalry officer of 14 (Scinde) Horse, was tragically martyred while leading a rescue operation during a fire that broke out at the Green Park Uphaar Cinema in Delhi. Without a moment’s hesitation, this braveheart risked and ultimately gave his life in a valiant attempt to save others. Alongside him, his young wife and unborn child also perished — a sacrifice that goes beyond comprehension and stands as a testament to the spirit of selfless service and courage that defines the Indian Army. Captain Bhinder was a gifted equestrian, a dedicated officer, and a son of the soil who was admired by his peers, seniors, and the community alike. His story of gallantry has inspired generations, and yet, remains formally unrecognised in the annals of our national honours. Sir, it is never too late to honour bravery. A grateful nation must acknowledge the heroism of those who put the lives of others before their own, especially when such acts are carried out far beyond the call of duty. In light of his extraordinary courage and selfless sacrifice, we humbly request the Ministry of Defence to consider awarding a suitable posthumous gallantry award to Captain Manjinder Singh Bhinder, so that his memory may be formally enshrined in our nation’s history, and his family may draw strength and solace from this long-overdue recognition. Thank you for your attention to this deeply heartfelt appeal. Yours faithfully, Brig HPS Bedi, VSM Indian Army Veteran 9871035201 Email: peterbedi@gmail.com @PMOIndia @adgpi @BhagwantMann @DefenceMinIndia @PPS_Nabha

@Shubh_ara @ColHunnyBakshi If he or his staff cannot look after the welfare of his own officers he should be penalised even more.

Poor Soul COAS. If he starts getting these judgements in all cases..... All because someone sometime started bending his back... livehindustan.com/national/high-…

General @KatochPrakash has written a sharp piece on denying NFU to the armed forces. Our saga of exploiting soldiers politically and them abandoning them on fundamentals continues thestrategicperspective.org/nfu-denial-to-…

@bagchi_praveer @FrontalForce @narendramodi @NitinNabin Yes 👍

@FrontalForce Dear NAMO a new hero of the Nation is born called Diljit literally meaning winning hearts please do give him a role at the National level @narendramodi @NitinNabin

Khalistanis were waving Khalistan flags in Diljit Dosanjh's concert in Canada Diljit Dosanjh told security to throw these Khalistanis out 🔥

@FrontalForce Excellent. That’s like a true Son of Punjab

Attended the ZF Strategic Supplier Meet in Pune. ZF is expanding its India play by targeting domestic OEMs as customers and boosting sourcing from Indian suppliers for both local and export programs. Clear signal: India is now central to ZF’s global strategy.

Battle over NFU- a long fight by our Armed Forces for equity so that the same policy that raises pay scales in other services without a promotion applies to the military. Why is Media Ignoring this? Our show with @Vedmalik1 @Warrior_Mukul @Sood_2 - In full youtube.com/watch?v=2W9Lqb…

SHAMEFUL CONDUCT BY DELHI POLICE Last night (11 April), at around 10:00 PM, a serving Brigadier’s family encountered two individuals consuming alcohol inside their car (Regn No. DL3CCY 0789) near their residence in Vasant Enclave. Upon objecting to this act of illegal public drinking, the situation escalated. The individuals called for additional support, and soon 7–8 more men arrived in multiple vehicles. These men proceeded to assault the Brigadier’s son, causing significant injuries, and also manhandled the Brigadier himself. Despite a call to the Police Helpline (112) and a PCR vehicle (ZBR39A, Mobile No. 9311923339) being dispatched to the spot, no effective action was taken by the police personnel present. The assault occurred in full view of the PCR van, yet no intervention was made. Following the incident, the family approached Vasant Vihar Police Station to lodge an FIR. However, their complaint was not registered, and they were also denied immediate medical assistance. Eventually, the injured were taken to the Military Hospital for treatment. A written complaint has since been submitted, but the lack of timely police action—both at the scene and at the police station—raises serious concerns. This incident demands urgent attention and accountability. Strict action must be taken against those involved in illegal public drinking, organized assault, and the apparent negligence of duty by the police personnel present. @adgpi @westerncomd_IA @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @AmitShah @CMODelhi @gupta_rekha @DelhiPolice @CrimeBranchDP @Ravindra_IPS @CPDelhi @BJP4Delhi @INCDelhi @AamAadmiParty @republic @Republic_Bharat @IndiaToday @ZeeNews @ZeeNewsEnglish @RShivshankar @jugalrp @SandeepUnnithan @sardesairajdeep

@Saroj_ini @barandbench I agree. The judges unfortunately don’t realise this.

@barandbench Absent without leave is major infraction in the armed forces, grave offense with zero tolerance. ​While armchair analysts might dismiss it as a trivial HR issue, it is directly tied to national security. A missing soldier can compromise an operation and cost lives.

Supreme Court hears case of a man removed from CISF service because of unauthorised absence: ASG SD Sanjay: absence is of 11 days. Justice BV Nagarathna: this is a case for imposing cost with dismissal. We have been shouting. Pendency, pendency. Who is the biggest litigant? His dismissal is disproportionate. High court granted him relief. Instead of giving opinion that you will not go to Supreme Court, you still proceed against him. What had we said in the SCBA function? (referring to SCBA’s national conference where Justice Nagarathna recently spoke extensively about government being responsible for case backlog). We will impose cost in this case. We do not find any reason whatsoever to interfere with the impugned order. We fail to understand as to why the Union of India and others have approached this court. We dismiss this SLP with cost of Rs. 25000. Justice Nagarathna: we have taken the SCBA conference very seriously. It was not just to go to some resort and come back. We made preparations, we did homework. We spoke. Not to forget.

Another circulating social media video shows a toll booth personnel asking an army officer to pay the toll, claiming he is off duty. The operator is unaware that the Toll Act does not distinguish between on-duty and off-duty personnel. This has been legally settled by an order from the Chandigarh High Court. The key point is that the Hindutva brigade of the BJP is projecting false narratives, claiming officer falsely claiming exemption.It is astonishing to witness their baseless attacks against the armed forces despite lacking knowledge of the actual legal position. Mr. Gadkari and his team intentionally keep their toll staff confused by muddying the waters with the on-duty versus off-duty narrative.Each toll booth you see issues leading to violence against faujis. Tolls,Agnivir and UGC guidelines at times makes me feel,BJP is the most divisive party of india.

@gharkekalesh Non sense. Serving officers are exempt Toll since they are joining duty even if from leave.

Army officer (1-2L salary) rolls up in Mahindra SUV with wife, off-duty, refuses toll. Respect to the toll guy — polite & professional despite the drama. Hope the top brass sees this. 💯
