On Monday, Rajya Sabha marshals appeared in a dark-coloured suit and a peak cap. Amid the criticism that followed from former Army officers and Opposition leaders, Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu ordered a review of the new uniform of Rajya Sabha marshals.
About:
So far, Rajya Sabha marshals were wearing white safari suits with a white turban. Former MPs said this had not changed since at least 1965.
The new dark suit and cap appeared on Monday.
The marshals themselves had sought a change to a uniform that would be user-friendly, and have a modern look. There was unhappiness among marshals as their existing uniform was the same as that of chamber attendants who are junior to them and assist MPs in the House.
However, Army officers argued that copying and wearing of military uniforms by non military personnel is illegal. Even recently the Ministry of Home Affairs sent out directions that people outside the Army should not be copying military uniform.
