Re: [IAC#RG] Heads Must Roll: Use of Army for Sri Sri’s Event

Dear Zubin,
                   Once our Army was used for AICC sammelan. Sad indeed we have weak commanders who doesn't go by the book.We have many times given water tanks for events like these. Attukal pongala normally gets this service from Army. Regards Uncle.

It appears that this has happened under the orders of the RM , may be with the approval of the PM. 

We have built such a system after independence where netas  have the last word implemented promptly by  the bureaucrats , who have been looking for such opportunities  to keep the army under their thumb.  .

Heads Must Roll: Angry Ex-Col on Use of Army for Sri Sri's Event

Col Subin Balakrishnan (Retd)

(Col Subin Balakrishnan, @beesubin on Twitter, is an ex-Special Forces
officer from the Indian Army with over two decades of experience in
counter-terrorism operations in multiple operational theaters across
the country.)

I am terribly saddened and immensely angered to read that the Indian
Army I served with such fierce pride has been pushed to building
bridges for a culture festival, which is clearly not a state event!

It gets worse when one factors in that these bridges are operational
assets that are meant to be deployed by specialist combat troops in
war.

I'm desperately hoping this news report is false. If it is not, the
General Officer in command who authorised this (quite possibly under
duress) must be held personally liable for bringing disrepute to the
Indian Army.

The reluctance, or worse, the inability to stand up and say NO to what
is clearly an inappropriate request (or order) must be equated with
cowardice as per Army law, and appropriately dealt with. This nation
looks up to our men and women in uniform. We CANNOT let down trust by
bringing disrepute to the very hard earned respect that our countrymen
and women hold for that uniform.

Our men and women in uniform are known for their straight spine. Let
us keep it that way, please.

Once again, if indeed this news report is true, Heads MUST roll !!!
