Lt. Col. Ahlawat, in his reply to Twinkle Khanna, he clearly said that he is totally against the idea of Auction of this auction. In his message to Twinkle Khanna, he called her idea of this auction to be as sick and bad as her funny bones jokes/book/blog.
A uniform is a matter of pride for every officer and defence personnel. Lt. Col. Ahlawat, warned Twinkle Khanna of dragging her into the court of justice if she auctioned the uniform. He also said that " You touch our honour and we will give you a bloody nose."
Here is Lt Col Ahlawat's complete message for Twinkle Khanna,
Dear Twinkle Khanna
I am not on Instagram so giving you a rebuttal on Facebook. Your idea of auctioning the costume your husband donned in the movie Rustom for raising money for your NGO is as sick as your funnybones jokes/book/blog. Your Instagram post on the following idea is flawed on the following grounds.
1. What your husband wore in movie Rustom was a costume and not uniform.
2. Indian Armed Forces wives (Army, Navy, Airforce) do not auction their husband's uniforms.
3. Uniform is not a piece of cloth that a producer hands over to cine stars for enacting roles and make some quick bucks. The permission to wear the uniform comes from the office of the President of India. Uniform is earned with your blood, toil, and sweat which is placed on the mortal remains of a soldier along with the tricolour.
4. If you even make a feeble attempt to auction this piece of costume in the garb of 'UNIFORM' then I will drag you to the court. You may like to check my credentials. You touch our honour and we will give you a bloody nose.
Warm regards,
An enraged citizen!!
Even though this message has gone viral and Twinkle Khanna has herself replied to this message, but the International Business Times has still not been able to verify the authenticity of this particular message to be coming from Lt. Col. Ahlawat.
Also, Twinkle Khanna, has already responded to this message and tweeted that, " As a society do we really think it's all right to threaten a woman with bodily harm for trying to raise funds for a charity by auctioning a uniform used in a movie, a piece of film memorabilia? I will not retaliate with violent threats but by taking legal action! #JaiHind."
Using all the goodwill I have left to raise money for a good cause :) Do bid folks! And thank you @karanjohar @iHrithik @sonamakapoor and of course @akshaykumar for giving all this fab stuff to @SaltScout https://t.co/YxIobTNS8D
