Dont forget, MMS is himself an ex bureaucrat. Maybe his fraternal loyalties go deep enough to want to humiliate the military.

+1. Sadly, the courts will probably not go into the reasons for this unseemly episode, which should also have come out.

ASPuar

What if DOBgate is a scam to get AKA out of the PM race? Maana ki AKA follows orders and will go with the script. Very clear the issue got muddled in the MS branch record which doesn't reconcile with actuality. He might have went with the advice given by the civilian apparatus. Now he is being pill...

What compromise can there possibly be? The General says his date of birth is 1951. The government, for some reason, wishes it to be 1950. Where does the compromise happen? That he was born at the end of 1950, or beginning of 1951? Looks like govt is very keen to receive an anda on its face.

Isnt it time that Soniaji stepped in, and told the Jolly old PM not to embarass the govt for narrow nepotistic reasons?

ASPuar

What KC says is ok, and even factual perhaps. But the fact is, that that does not stop VKS from demanding that his honour be restored.

Haha, KC Singh is just cheesed off, because defence secretary's have been summarily sacked in the past... AP Venkateswaran was fired by Rajiv Gandhi, and Salman Haider by Vajpayee...

Dont be surprised if that worthy toady gets nominated to the Rajya Sabha pretty soon...

Meanwhile, I will remind EVERYONE, that the matter is sub judice, and unnecessary speculation and ranting about the truth of the facts one way or another is not only unnecessary, but undesirable, during pendente lite.

The IA has been tragically unfortunate that it had 3 l;ousy chiefs one after the other Vij , JJ and DK - one all pompous, one all fun and frolic and one a crook. And all rewarded in one way or another, by the GOI. The (very competent) chief before Vij (Gen. Sundararajan Padmanabhan) very politely d...

Yes, yes, your view has been heard many times over. Now lets wait for the court to decide.

ASPuar

Why so Kolaveri? The matter is sub judice. What the honble apex court says, is the law of the land. Why should we quibble about it? What is the point of discussing so much in the air? The court has been approached. The court will decide.

ASPuar

What is surprising, and shows the caliber of people like Vij, DK, JJ, is that they were ready to sell their personal honour, and the dignity and interests of their service down the river, in exchange for something as small as governorship of a tiny northeastern state, and chairmanship of an authorit...

@Sunnydee: Its easy to fault someone when youre not in his place. I think he did the right thing, and he has certainly been a hell of a lot better for the army than any of his three predecessors. Indeed, it is Gen VKS who has cleaned up the filth engendered by Vij, JJ, and DK. Of course, it would be...

What is it with Defence Ministers from Kerala, and disasters in Civil Military relations? The last one, of course, was VK Krishna Menon, and we all know how that ended. Now, Antony is writing his own name in letters of gold on the board ignominy.

Disinformation spread in the media. It has been amply pointed out, that the AG branch has all along promoted the General on 1951 basis. Even MS Branch has been listing Gen SIngh based on 1951. Or, its just a typo.

ASPuar

^^ I second the above. If the policeman, thinking that he is above the law because of his uniform, feels that he can break the law, and go around slapping people, then he should be ready to have the bejesus beaten out of him when he comes across someone who wont put up with it. The actions of any po...

ASPuar

@Sachin: Incidentally, your comments in Pune case seem to be against the army itself, rather than about any isolated incident or individual. At this point, I must question, why? The fact that a policeman of subordinate rank, struck a superior, gazetted government officer is in itself shocking. The f...

@Sachin: Contention of the army is that police report is false. All allegations of misbehaviour with anyone on behalf of army officers is false.

Yes, yes, as I have said, there was some action on behalf of the army chaps also in Kolkata. All happened after the aforementioned, supra. I am also quite well acquainted with the facts of the case.

What is not correct, Saarji? In Kolkata case, pandu logic was quickly demolished in the face of the facts, and the crowing police commissioner had to eat humble pie in the face of the facts. In fact, when queried, it was found that the cops were on the payroll of the hotel, whose bouncers had thrash...

So they say. In Kolkata, it was later proved that cops ransacked their own thana, to gain media sympathy! But not reported in media too much, because it was yesterdays news.

CDS cannot be 5 Star. It will be 4 star only. Primus inter pares.

Excellent news. This petition was a total dud, riddled with inconsistencies, and sensational lies, and designed to preclude the chief from legal options before the Supreme Court.

Yup, canteen, guest houses, clubs, golf courses, everything. But no service officers are posted in MOD!

It is allegedly 'integrated' already. Of course, babus made sure that no service officer was posted to MOD. Instead, integration only meant that now bureaucrats have got access to army staff cars, and ASC drivers, while Major Generals are given taxis to roam around in. :rotfl: The IAS etc need to be...
