Be that as it may, my submissions/questions are as follows...
1. How did @DrGPradhan, who isnt in the govt or a constitutional appointment get to know of this event? He , by his own admission, knew about it from 07 Aug 2018. ()
2. How did 356 officers, JCOs and ORs get together to file a case of this nature
without @adgpi, AG, COAS, MoD
knowing about it? Are our Command & Control Structures so weak? In all likelihood, they knew. If they did, why did they abrogate their responsibilities? Why didn't they approach the govt and the courts on behalf of their men?
3. Social Media channels, across platforms had the soft copy of the writ petition before 1200h on 14.08.2018 while the case was being filed in the Supreme Court. Where did it originate and who spread it?
This is an extremely dangerous event in our democracy.
It signifies the politicisation of The Armed Forces of India. An event which has had the tacit blessings of the senior leadership of @adgpi, @DefenceMinIndia & of the Prime Minister @narendramodi himself.
All, and I mean, all of the above are guilty of abrogating their
With what intent? Time will tell.
Suffice to say that it does not augur well for us as citizens and for India when institution after institution crumbles in the face of parochial interests of a few.
Watch this space for more.
