No one is spared from the wrath of demonetisation and standing in long queues has been the norm this month for most of us, regardless of what bracket of society you belong. The long queues are a sight of constant banter and ranting about the mismanagement of the banks, the sudden repercussions of the demonetisations and so on.

Amidst the common remarks being hurled at each other, one common comment circulating around is the callous comparison of people standing the line to our brave soldiers who stand for hours and sometimes days on the borders. Recently, even Virender Sehwag got trolled for his tweet that stirred controversy after he decided to go with the ‘army’ comparison. In a recent incident, something similar happened with Darshan Dhillon, a brave Army man who served the 

nation for over 20 years. He was in a queue to withdraw his pension, when a Modi bhakt tried to pass a moral lecture about why he was perturbed standing in the line while Indian Army stands for hours together. The ignorant man had no clue that Dhillon was an army man himself.

People should be wary of passing insensitive, half baked remarks to others. The hard work and sacrifice of an army man can seldom be compared to that of a civilian.
