Reacting to the new uniform of the Rajya Sabha Marshals, restyled from traditional Indian attire with turbans to military-style outfits with caps, former army chief Ved Prakash Malik said they are a security hazard. He implored Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Vice President Venkaiah Naidu to “take early action”. In a tweet, Malik said, “Copying and the wearing of military uniforms by non-military personnel is illegal and a security hazard.” The marshals earlier wore safari suits during the summer months and Indian bandhgalas during the winter along with turbans.
