HARDSHIPS FOR GEN VK SINGH ( Retd)

                       HARDSHIPS FOR GEN VK SINGH STRT
                           Dr K Prabhakar Rao
Gen VK Singh is now facing court summons for a defamation case as he accused a retired Lt General for offering him a bribe in Tatra ( BEML) truck case while he was in service. He is retired now and is out of uniform. He is a commoner now and in all probabilities will be facing many such hardships that are usually let loose for outspoken guys from uniformed services.Most of the times, the service chiefs keep cool and do not like to cross swords with the establishment that too at the fag end of service. We had many army Chiefs right from the days of Gen ( Later FM ) Cariappa. Except Gen Thimmayya ( 1962 fame ), all the army chiefs preferred to keep mum before and after retirement. They were happy guys and some also got plum posts after retirement like Gen Rao and Gen Roy Chaudhri also became an MP. Gen Singh is morally strong and would face these hardships and come out clean soon. So moral of the lesson is that the Govt expects guys to be yes masters who would clap, dance and sing.. YES SIR YES SIR THREE BAGS FULL.. ALL FOR YOU AND NONE FOR ME.. So there ends the matter.The rule also applies to all uniformed services including police and para military forces.
