It is not IAS's job to get on street and take guns in his own hands. He is not supposed to do that job.
Similarly, Army officers are not qualified to understand 2000 complex clauses inside International laws and treaties so as to advise, beyond his duty to his seniors on how to take decisions.
Everyone has a job to do and asking for more than one's share is clear case of overriding the authority.
First ask the Army to use their own brains and don't invite foreign consultants to make decisions for them. First, do your own job properly, then lecture others.
And anyways, if Army is hungry for respect so much, then first give respect to common Indian men and stop being a shame on country by trying to act like superficial above the common, super-humans. That's exactly the path Armies o in dictator countries. Comparing the security protocols accorded to ruling dispension with regular Army soldiers types, is just beginning.
Protocols are protocols and they must be respected. They can't be confused with emotions(respect, hate, love, dream or whatever out of this reporter's as*).
