New Delhi: Union Minister of State for External Affairs General VK Singh has once again put his foot in his mouth. Commenting on the burning of two children near Faridabad in Haryana, the former Indian Army chief said Central government has nothing to do with it.
"This incident has nothing to with the Central government. This is the failure of state government. If someone throws stones at a dog, the government is not responsible," he said. Singh also said that the whole incident is a case of personal enmity.

General VK Singh has in the past too, faced the ire for his controversial statements.
Hitting out at Singh, former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah said, he was "speechless".
Leaders from across various political parties have slammed Singh for his "irresponsible" comments. "This is as if the government has nothing to do with the incident whereas the family had written to the government," former AAP leader Yogendra Yadav said.
"This comment is casteist. A case should be put against VK Singh. He has no right to stay in Cabinet. It's tragic that you have a person so casteist sitting in the Cabinet. When an investigation is on, how can he as a minister say it was family rivalry. This is amounting to influencing the probe," CPM leader Brinda Karat said.
Two children of a Dalit family were burnt alive and their parents suffered injuries allegedly after some persons from upper caste set their house afire while they were sleeping. The shocking incident occurred at around 2.30 AM on Tuesday at Sunped village on the outskirts of Delhi.
Four people have been arrested in connection with the case on the basis of preliminary investigation. Three policemen have also been suspended for dereliction of duty.
Vaibhav, who was two-and-a-half years old, and his sister, 11-month-old Divya, died after the attackers allegedly poured petrol from the window and set the house ablaze while the family was sleeping inside. A religious programme was being held nearby in the village at that time.
Their mother Rekha, 28, suffered serious burns and has been referred to Delhi for treatment while their father Jitender, 31, too suffered injuries while trying to save his family.
