This is enitrely separate from personality clashes, and just as separate from his tendency to engage in political maneuvring rather than collegial engagement with other stakeholders.

	If you think both Suresh and Parminder have behaved inappropriately, then you should be against either of them being selected, surely? If you believe both are in the wrong, so we should ignore it, that sounds like a recipe for a continuing problematic culture that is explicitly tolerant of bad behaviour. 
	I mean, given that even Parminder's supporters, such as Michael, are still saying that he behaves inappropriately (just claim that maybe other people are... well, not as bad, but not perfect either), there surely is a serious problem, and deflecting criticism with 'he isn't the only one' is no longer (if it ever was) appropriate. 
	I would appreciate an explanation from those, like yourself and Michael, who (explicitly in Michaels case, implicitly in your case) admit that Parminder's behaviour is inappropriate, but want to support him anyway. 
	
	Regards
