Army Chief alleges govt role in letter leak, questions Supreme Court

New Delhi: Army Chief General V K Singh in a hard-hitting interview to Times Now has alleged that someone in the government leaked his confidential letter to the Prime Minister on glaring weaknesses in defence preparedness.

Three days before he is to retire, the General regretted going to the Supreme Court on his date of birth issue, and also cautioned the government over demilitarizing Siachen.

Asked how his confidential letter to the PM was leaked, General Singh said that neither he nor anyone close to him was the source of the leak. “In Army, we don’t do things like this. It is not our culture…It is a treasonable act. Let us find out who leaked it,” he said.
