Re: [IAC#RG] IAF (Air HQ) says : Alleged Balakot air strike never happened ?

Dear Mr. Roy,

                       rather than post a gist of your claimed reply to your RTI inquiry, It would have been appropriate had you posted a scanned copy of the reply so that the source could be established/authenticated.  I fully endorse Vijay's views 

Best wishes

Robin Deans

Dear Mr Sarbajit Roy,

I do not think IAC should be involved in such a matter. I think the attack on Balakot has had its own favourable consequences (notwithstanding your RTI findings). I am not even sure this is an issue under your charter. Had I been Chief of the Airforce and there was any hanky-panky, I would not have put out the briefings which are on record. (I am NOT being naive!) I urge you to concentrate your energies on the many corruption cases which exist.

Sincerely,

Vijay Shivdasani

It is better to presume that no strike took place than to get into any unnecessary discussion/ argument about it. 

The armed forces need to be kept out of all the nonsense that goes on in political circles. 

Why politicise the armed forces?

Dear Shri S.P. Mathur, IPS (Retd)

You would be interested to know that as per official filings I have made to Ministry of Defence immediately after alleged Balakot air strike, the MoD and Air HQ presently claim (in interim updates) that they have no information about the Balakot air strike or its damage assessments or number of persons who were injuriously affected by it. (NB: This is very different from refusing me the information under national security exemptions which they could very well choose to do).

Because of the careful and precise way my duly registered and acknowledged (and long overdue for disposal) communications to Min of Defence were made, they are now unable to dispose of them and are apparently internally laying the blame at doorstep of politicians and Ministry of External Affairs for giving wrong briefings. There are notings of protest inside Air HQ and MoDef that Armed forces are being misused for political purposes.

As a consequence of IAC's communications on this issue, MEA Minister Sushma Swaraj was forced to publicly concede that nobody was killed as a result of the (alleged) Balakot air strike.

Accordingly, you can rest assured that IAC is doing its work silently, as a very potent force, within the corridors of power to ensure that the steel frames do not get corroded or converted to plastic by rogue politicians.

sincerely

Sarbajit Roy
