VK SINGH--VILLAIN OR HERO: A VIEW POINT

History will prove that Hero/villain.However,let us place our hands on heart and feel that in his situation would we have taken that big stand whatever be considerations.Most of us who have served in AHQ know what goes on there.Arms lobbies rule the roost.They decide most of the moves under shelter of MOD.MOD takes the cream and crumbs are for Generals.VK is different.I WILL SHARE A SMALL INCIDENT TO WHICH I AM WITNESS.IN 2004 WHEN I WAS SERVING IN AHQ,A COLLEGUE OF MINE BRIG WAS POSTED IN MGO BR.HE WAS IN PROCUREMENT SECTION.VCOAS WAS CHAIRING THE CONF IN MGO BR,CASE OF PURCHASE OF ADDL 3000 TATRAS WAS BEING DISCUSSED.ALL HEADS OF ARMS AND SERVICES WERE THERE.EVERYONE SUPPORTED REPEAT ORDER WITH VETRAS FOR1.10 CR A TATRA.BRIG FRIEND WHO HAD JUST JOINED MGO AS DDG ASKED JUSTIFICATION WHEN ANOTHER FIRM WAS PROVIDING US 60 LAKHS APIECE.VETRAS HAD PROMISED TRANSFER OF TECH BUT NEVER DID NEW FIRM WAS READY FOR TFR OF TECH.STATE WAS SAVING A LOT.NO ONE SUPPORTED HIM.MGO TRIED TO GIVE HIM SHUT UP CALL.HE TOLD THAT HIS DISAGREEMENT MAY BE RECORDED.BRIG WAS POSTED OUT OF MGO BR NEXT DAY TO SIDE LINED DTE.IT IS OLD STORY.MOD AND AHQ IS THICK WITH MUD.HOPE ONE CHIEF CAN DO SOMETHING.
