Uproar over Lt General Suhag's affidavit in Lok Sabha
The affidavit said the alleged lapses which were made as grounds to impose disciplinary ban on Suhag were "baseless", "premeditated", "vague" and "illegal".
"Defence Minister Arun Jaitley has sought an explanation from senior officials in his ministry on how passages imputing motives to former Army Chief – and now MoS for the north east, external affairs and overseas affairs – V K Singh were part of an affidavit filed in the Supreme Court on June 4, shortly after the BJP-led NDA government assumed office," reported CNN-IBN.
Meanwhile, the opposition Congress demanded VK Singh's resignation.
Expressing his displeasure, VK Singh tweeted on Tuesday: "MOD affidavit same as it gave to AFT under protective and conniving UPA, so what is new folks?"
"If unit kills innocents,does dacoity and then head of organization tries to protect them, should he not be blamed?Criminals should go free!!" he posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
