AAP demands sacking of V K Singh

August 18, 2016 18:00

In the wake of Army Chief General Dalbir Singh alleging victimisation by Union minister V K Singh when he was heading the army, the Aam Aadmi Party said the minister has now become a "national liability" and demanded his sacking.

The party said Dalbir Suhag's claims raise serious concerns and that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should address these.

"A person who intended to create a friction in the army, whose track record as an army chief was mired in controversies like his age row, who set up a parallel branch for snooping on ministers, one who compared Dalits with dogs while being a minister...There were reports that he also wanted to engineer a coup.

"Such a person had become a political liability for BJP, but now he has become a national liablity. He should be immediately sacked," AAP leader Raghav Chadha said.

In an unprecedented step of a serving army chief taking on one of his predecessors, General Dalbir Suhag has alleged that he was "sought to be victimised" by Gen (retd) V K Singh, now a Union minister, with the sole purpose of denying him promotion as army commander.
