CONTROVERSIAL GENERAL
Dr K Prabhakar Rao
General VK Singh ( Retd ) and former COAS and now minister of state with independent charge commented that next COAS designate Lt Gen suhag is unfit to be the COAS as he protected criminals under his command who committed even dacoity.. This has stirred Hornets nest and Congress demanded his resignation. In fact Gen VK Singh Retd) did not recommned the new incumbent for promotion. Congress party however in their final stages designated him as the next COAS before it breathed its last
Gen VK Singh is now a central ministerand should not have crossed the barrier. He is outspoken no doubt, But his comments caused unnecessary discomfort to Modis govt. Arun Jetly the in charge MOD declared that appointmnet of Gen suhag is final. Gen VK Singh struggled to get his date of birth changed and finally went to Highest court against the govt and failed to get it done. He had to retire. For nearly 40 years he could not get his date of birth changed inspite of occupying very high positions. What magic can be expected from him as minister of state in Eastern sector. He had poor relations with senior staff of army. He being in govt must be very careful in airing his views. Now having aired the views, the govt also can not ignore the charges. Why appoint a tainted soldier as COAS? The charges by VK Singh are critical. Moreover the Gen Suhag wasnot recommended for promotion. The congress giovt inhurry nominated him. The previous govt was anti VK Singh. So they had to nominate one who was against VK Singh.The plan is
thus clear. The govt does not want to blow up the issue. But govt must set aside appointment of Suhag as next COAS and search for some other non controversial and efficient General. Slowly army is getting politicized.It is inevitable with misgovernance.Thailand is a live example.
