Attempt to Bribe the Chief

It is surprising that the lobbyists have been given so much lose rope that they have dared to bribe the chief of the Army. The further damaging statement is that people have been accepting it earlier and would do so in future too. The chief has asserted that he had informed the Defense Minister, it is very astonishing the he too initiated no action, the question is why?? Who are the beneficiaries who have been encouraging such dubious deals earlier? Is it not betraying the Nation? It is the saddest day in the history of the nation. It is right time to have strong legislation against the corrupt, strong lokpal, will to punish the rich and the powerful for their dubious deeds. Country needs an answer from the defense minister and a quick in depth probe of the whole issue. Let the country see the true faces of our leaders whether in or out of uniform. The probe is also required to clear the names of earlier Chiefs so the Army must exert pressure for early investigation.

GEN THAMBURAJ- MISCONDUCT

It is very disgraceful that the senior offrs are bent upon tarnishing the image of the Army. Strictest possible action must be taken against the guilty. How can he pass the buck to the staff? In Army when a veh meets with an accident hundreds of km away the CO of the unit is held accountable and in the same set up a Gen is attributing his misconduct to the staff and other offrs. The other point is that even if there are others involved he cannot be exonerated of the criminal offense. Whether he has benefited or not but surely he has embarrassed the Army as such.
One wonders if this approach of the present army Chief Gen VK Singh, that is no nonsense approach and zero tolerance towards corruption that is bothering the Govt. It is because of this clean image of the Gen Singh that we wish he wins the case and continues longer to clean up the system and also regains his honour.
