Gen Vaidya won 2 MahaVir Chakras, fell to assassins’ bullets 40 yrs ago. Forty years ago this week, ‘Khalistan Commando Force’ assassins were closing in on former Army Chief Gen Vaidya. The 40th anniversary of his assassination passed unnoticed. No commemoration, no memorials, not even a tweet from the ever-so-active Army handles.
