How exactly is the Indian Army requesting the Indian government to launch an government headed enquiry on V.K. Singh a secret internal report? It's funny to note how you say what was the government doing for six months when you clearly term it as a secret report. Secret funds that even the Indian Army can't track as to where they went? Let's not be naive and throw away all objectivity yaar. And what are the damaging implications to national security to implicate a former General? Where were these implications when V.K. Singh letters on the state of readiness of the Indian Armed forces were conveniently leaked?
The rest about CBI, Ishrat Jahan etc. is just unmitigated rubbish. If I were a BJP leader, I would drop V.K. Singh like a hot potato. If Advani can be forsaken,
I can clearly see that you are making extreme efforts to appear ignorant so that you can confuse others with your obfuscatory tactics. Whats so difficult to understand:
1, The Board of Officers submitted a report about the workings of TSD of MI. This report, which is of a purely preliminary nature, is top secret.
2. The report was submitted to MOD for consideration and further action as the government thinks proper.
3. Between the MOD and PMO, the report remained lying in limbo for 6 months. The PMO is of the opinion that the report is not actionable.
4. Instead of setting up an enquiry committee, which was found to be not feasible, the report is leaked to the press which divulges its contents.
5. Among other divulgences, it also mentions covert action against Pak, as well as certain payments made out of Secret Service funds. Even a child knows that SS payments are neither made to the indicated person, nor for the indicated purpose.
In case the Government needed to take further action, it should have done so instead of sitting on it. What benefit accrues by leaking it to the public and indulging in loose talk like CBI investigation . Can the CBI even investigate into matters military when even the Army has not held an enquiry?
Is it even within the jurisdiction of civil agencies at the moment?
Great harm was done by the report leak
1. Leaking a top secret report
2. Divulging the fact of covert ops against Pak which Pak will gleefully use for many years to project India as a terrorist state and itself as victim
2. Demoralizing the MI, just as IB has been a couple of month earlier
4. Risking the operatives. Now that the J&K Minister's name is revealed, his life may be in danger even if he was not the recipient of the funds
5. Muddying the name of Gen V K Singh when there is nothing against him at the moment.
And all this just for dubious political gains?
