IMO,
I had already told you that VKS going to court is futile as they already have passed some judgements in past and VKS fits into that judgement template. SC has been very clear about the issue that since it has not stopped his chances to become chief. Even Chief Justices have retired within 10 days of getting the post.
Now, what I didn't say: The four pillars, the legislature, executive, judiciary and media will never encourage armed forces to prevail at any condition.
Unfortunately, all the four pillars slept through the genuine demand. However, even when they woke up before VKS going to court, the series of issues cropped up like his accent in terms of larger interest of the organisation, the Supreme Court rulings, the law of the land etc.
A lot of apprehension privately aired to me was that while the neighbours are going through Army ----> civilian, we were going civilian ----> Army, incase SC ruled for VKS. While my argument that its ridiculous, I was told that it sets a precedent. A lot is happening via the retired officers route too, which, is not good, they say.
I had told you that only a miracle will enable him to win and it will be a case study.
Back scene, while every one is genuinely sorry about VKS situation, however, they cannot let it prevail.
This government has brought common people and military to the edge. Both anti-corruption movement and VKS going to court is a black mark on the government. Hopefully, the judiciary and media will bring this ruling party (not the legislation and exec) to its knees for the better of India.
