Should former Army chief General VK Singh visit anti-rape protests in Delhi or elsewhere in India? That was part of the deliberations at the Cabinet Committee on Security today. Two ministers opined that a 'message' should be sent to VK Singh.

The Prime Minister did not speak a word [we are hardly surprised], but another senior minister said the since VK SIngh hared a dais with Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev -- he should be treated like Ramdev.

A union minister who recently got a position in the CCS after his elevation to Raisina Hills agreed to withdraw not only the security, but also the facilities provided to VK Singh like free phones and army cars.
