Congress leader Rashid Alvi has said that the blame which Gen. VK Singh has put on Lt. General Dalbir Singh Suhag is very serious.
In the past, Singh sought justification for his action as Army Chief to impose Discipline and Vigilance(DV) ban on Suhag for a "botched up" military intelligence operation by a unit under him.
Alvi said that the blame cannot be ignored, adding that the Defence Minister Arun Jaitley has given Suhag a green signal.
Alvi said that since both the ministers cannot be correct on the issue, the PM Narendra Modi should look into the matter.
Former defence minister A K Antony, however, refused to comment on the Lt. Gen Suhag appointment row.
"If unit kills innocents, does dacoity and then head of organization tries to protect them, should he not be blamed? Criminals should go free!!" VK Singh tweeted recently about him imposing a ban on General Suhag.
