VK Singh in govt. dock for sharing dais with Modi: BJP

September 20, 2013 12:47

The BJP yesterday claimed that former chief of army staff General VK Singh is being targeted by the UPA Government for sharing the dais with BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi at a recent rally in Rewari, Haryana.

BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said the defence ministrys decision to order a probe against General (retired) VK Singh in connection with a media-based report that he had allegedly ordered a technical unit of the army to unseat the Jammu and Kashmir Government when he was in office, was completely unjustified.

General V K Singh is being hounded because he was seen by the side of Narendra Modi, said BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman.

She further said: We caution the government to look into this, as this will result in a complete trust deficit in army and demoralize the army.

Media reports have claimed that General V K Singh set up a special unit in the army which tried to topple the Jammu and Kashmir Government.
