Outrage on social media
After Admiral Prakash’s post, many took to social media to criticize the Election Commission. The former Navy chief said the notice was a big mistake. During Admiral Prakash’s 40-year career, he commanded four warships, including the carrier Borne Fighter Squadron, a naval air base and the aircraft carrier INS Viraat. Some even questioned whether the person holding the highest office in the country would now have to reveal his identity.
If the Commission is in doubt, it should send an officer to the residence of the Chief of Naval Staff. However, Admiral Prakash refused to invite any officer to his house.
