Re: [IAC#RG] POST PATHANKHOT ITS TIME FOR MANOHAR PARRIKAR TO HANG HIS BOOTS

DearSir,

 Your post on Mod-speaks of the bias of Mr. Nehru against Armed forces as well as of the Senior civil servants since independence. These facts are all known, yet the Armed forces have risen to the occasion in preventing forcible  takeover of J&K or liberating of Bangladesh .
Even during 1962 war with China it was the political leadership to be blamed and not Armed forces except the chosen General.

Problem in DRDO are also known and they have not delivered what was expected of them. But last year the P.M devoted quite some time, making some changes at the top and emphasising that they have to deliver results in a time bound manner.Perhaps there is a need for better coordination between the Min. of Defence, Senior scientists at DRDO and the Armed forces. Here the Defence Minister certainly has a role to play and I do not know if Mr. Parrikar giving enough attention, although I feel with his engineering background he can improve working of DRDO.

The other post relating to shifting the Defence Exhibition from Pragati Maidan to Goa is wrong both on the ground that it is a break from past

and is being done by the Defence Minister to his home State. But seriously do you support that Mr. Parrikar should be replaced by the P.M on the Pathankot incident?

The sordid happenings at Pathankhot over the last few days should be an eye opener.  India desperately needs a full time, dedicated and competent Defence Minister. The current incumbent who also merrily doubles up as the de- facto Chief Minister of Goa over the weekends has failed to ably lead the defence forces. His priority has been to keep himself embroiled in Goa's petty municipal and panchayat politics. Manohar Parrikar relishes in inaugurating roads, culverts, all and sundry while lowering the esteem and honor the very high position of Defence Minister entails.  

Not long ago while Narendra Modi was inking the Rafale fighter jet deal in France his Defence Minister was inaugurating a mobile fish stall in Goa.  When Modi went to Russia to sign the chopper deal, Manohar Parrikar was nowhere in sight. Probably, Modi chose to leave his Defence minister behind, lest he commits a gaffe.

After his disastrous three year tenure as Chief Minister of Goa, the awfully ego puffed Manohar Parrikar has ended up over the last year a catastrophe as Defence Minister of India. He has become a laughing stock and object of ridicule. It is high time Narendra Modi sees the writing on the wall and realises that India frantically needs a sincere, honest, competent and level headed Defence Minister.

The complete incorrect picture about Pathankhot that was sought to be given, that all operations were over, within a couple of hours, with some BJP MPs, going public in praising the Government, only to be exposed as falsehoods. The immature handling of the entire operation and the selective press leaks, still could not heal the damage done by the incompetent Defence Minister. For Manohar Parrikar, now to come out and claim that there were "some gaps" is nothing but confirming that the gap is caused due to his absence from Delhi on account of his regular hobnobbing in Goa.

Mere fact that Manohar Parrikar supported Narendra Modi for his anointing as Leader and future PM, ought not to have allowed Modi to lose his balance with this vital appointment. The position as Defence Minister is surely, not a Chairmanship of a Corporation. Nor is it for someone who seeks to play the role of a cowboy.

Manohar Parrikar gave us all those tall sermons on Zero tolerance to Corruption, but the rampant corruption which has ebbed to the peak is there for all to see. It is time for him to gracefully pack off and hang up his very soiled boots.
