Involve military in decision making: Former army chief

November 23, 2013 22:12

Former army chief Gen (retired) V P Malik today slammed the political leadership for not involving the army in decision-making on the nation's security, saying "lack of trust" between the civil-military officials was affecting strategic policies.

He said that the decision making process in India is "fractured", which leaves out many stake holders associated with the issue.

"Services chiefs were not informed about the nuclear tests until just two days prior to the big day even though the armed forces are meant to be the users in the event of a nuclear war," Malik said.
