In Parliament, Nehru eulogized Bijji Kaul, saying he was one of the best infantry officers in the army. When J. B. Kripalani, leader of the Opposition, questioned this, saying that Kaul’s only achievement was Op Amar (an operation where the army built houses in Ambala), Nehru countered by saying that Kaul was an officer who had been in the infantry for twenty-five out of the twenty-eight years of his service.
