One prominent national newspaper headline read 'Army drops all charges against Col Hunny'. The report said that the #Army had called off the general court martial (GCM) against Baksi, a former CO of Technical Support Division.

TSD a #secretive #military #Intelligence unit, which was set up in 2010 under former army chief General VK Singh, and disbanded after he retired in 2012.

TSD faced allegations ranging from misuse of secret funds, using off-the-air interceptors to tap phones of Ministry of Defence (#MoD) officials, attempt to topple Jammu and Kashmir government, and change the line of succession in the Indian #Army.

The cases against TSD began after a Havildar from the outfit was "Allegedly" intercepted with classified information by the Department of Revenue Intelligence in #Kerala during May 2012.
1. Why would revenue int guys intercept a havildar with Classified information?

But the manner in which the #UPA II government orchestrated the sordid affair of shutting down TSD which was giving ISI sleepless nights and moulded perceptions through disinformation would put even the capabilities of Cambridge Analytica to shame.

The TSD was sanctioned by the Ministry of Defence when General VK Kapoor (VK Singh's predecessor) was the #army chief.

The 'mobile interceptors', around which the whole story was #cooked, were neither procured nor held by the TSD. These were imported by the director general of Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) which functioned directly under Defence Minister AK #Anthony

And had nothing to do with the Indian Army or the army chief. If mobile interceptors were deployed in Delhi in 2012, it would be on orders of Anthony, then prime minister #Manmohan Singh and #Congress president #SoniaGandhi. .

The story of bugging Anthony's office was cooked up to give credence to the 'mobile interceptors' #narrative

The same director general of DIA offered bribes of Rs 14 cr to #General VK Singh in the latter's office to push a #Defence deal, and when jailed later, a prominent lawyer from the then ruling party went rushing to get him bail.

The #UPA II wanted to place this director general of DIA as director general of National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) but called it off after the mobile interceptors scandal emerged in the media.

The worst part was leaking #classified #military #Intelligence to the media by the Ministry of Defence, which again could not have been without #anthony's indulgence.

Whether the higher-ups were under ISI blackmail due to the #hawala transactions or feared exposure to the narcotics mafia, the entire episode amounted to high #Treason involving the highest level political dispensation of that time.

The real reason is that #GCM was impossible without letting Colonel #Bakshi cross-examine the witnesses, which would have brought scores of #skeletons tumbling out.

For the same reason, Col Hunny Bakshi was not provided with copies of documents used against him, not even a copy of the board of #officers implicating him, which he is authorised by law.

It is obvious that the UPA II used the army hierarchy to shut down the TSD but posts on social media question why some senior officers became a party to political #maneuvering despite adverse impact on army capability and #National security.

Here is a case of high #Treason that requires the #Hamam to be shattered. The least requirement is speedy trial by a special court for all the #Traitors.

The 1993 #Vohra Committee Report pointed to mafia virtually running a parallel government: money power used to develop a network of muscle-power, also used by the politicians during elections;

Rapid spread and growth of criminal gangs, armed senas, drug mafias, smuggling gangs, drug peddlers and economic lobbies, having developed extensive network of contacts with #bureaucrats/government functionaries at local levels, politicians, media persons .

And #strategically located individuals in non-State sector, some having international linkages and foreign #Intelligence; various mafias operating with impunity due links with governmental functionaries, political leaders, and others;

Any leakage of linkages of this crime syndicate with senior government functionaries or political leaders in the states or at the Centre could have a destabilising effect on the functioning of #Government

The above #Mafia is what some refer to as '#Hamam'. Having infiltrated all institutions in the country, the '#Hamam' found a simple solution to make the military to fall in line..

The Intelligence Bureau (#IB) was ordered to initiate annual confidential reports (#ACRs) on senior officers that went directly to the party high command.

Those with whatever misdemeanors were tagged for future placements (and #blackmail if needed), not that only they were promoted. But these #ACRs certainly helped crucial placement at crucial times in all three Services

The HAMAM n the lobby system needs to be eliminated so that the righteous officers get their due.
