not supported by source
"From the mass of evidence coming before the War Enquiry Commission from witnesses, both civil and military, there is little doubt that Niazi came to acquire a bad reputation in sex matters, and this reputation has been consistent during his postings in Sialkot, Lahore and East Pakistan.[63] The allegations regarding his indulgence in the export of Pan by using or abusing his position in the Eastern Command and as Commander of his command also prima facie appear to be well-founded.[64]"

Not only is this poorly written but the sources does not support it, can we delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 133.175.178.17 (talk) 15:34, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Tall tale
The origin of a statement in this article appears to be a 2003 op-ed by Sarmila Bose in the Pakistani Daily Times where she wrote: "Only two ‘Indian’ officers were chosen to be decorated by the Viceroy at that ceremony — ‘Tiger’ Niazi was one of them."

WP:RSEDITORIAL warns that op-eds "are rarely reliable for statements of fact". They don't undergo the same fact-checking process as a newspaper's news content. They are sometimes written by academics, but don't undergo peer review as scholarship does. WP:REDFLAG says "any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources". Extensive Google searches and searches of WP:TWL databases found no repetition of the above claim in a reliable source.

added Bose's statement in this edit on 8 July 2011. A week later, he changed it to: Only two Indian officers were chosen to be decorated by the Viceroy at that ceremony — ‘Tiger’ Niazi was one of them and the other being Lieutenant Sam Manekshaw. He received a strong warning in August 2011, his last before being blocked indefinitely, about original research.

He seems to have taken a story from a questionable source and embellished it. Like a good hoax/lie, it has elements of truth. However, it's highly unlikely that out of all the Indians who received awards for the Burma Campaign, only these two would have been chosen to be decorated by the Viceroy at that particular ceremony. If it had really happened that way, and if it were important, someone else would have written about it somewhere more reliable than a modern day newspaper op-ed.

Therefore, I've removed the story. If anyone can identify multiple high-quality sources that recount Niazi's involvement in it, they're welcome to add it back. --Worldbruce (talk) 08:15, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
