Gen VK Singh age Row.

The disclosure of a letter by MOD to Adj Gen to stick to the year of birth of the chief as 1950 has raised many serious issues and brought to the fore the dubious acts in such high profile selections.
Why in the first place was the chief asked to accept the year of birth as 1950, not once but thrice? That indicates that there were two years of births in the record. What was he asked to accept the year 1950? Did Govt not consider him competent to be in chair for a longer period, or did want to curtail his tenure to accommodate someone else?
If he was not worthy of the position why did the Govt ask him to accept wrong year of birth and lead the biggest Army in the world?
Where was the question of someone accepting or not the year of birth, it is a fact recorded at more than one place, so could have been authenticated beyond doubt.
All these developments are exposing the murkier side of the Govt functioning and arm twisting tactics.
It is Good that the modus operandi and the intentions of the Govt have been exposed.
The proceeding in the SC and the judgment will definitely bring more of the filth in the open and embarrass the Govt.
