LAND SCAM:Act against guilty, MoD tells Army Tribune News Service
New Delhi, December 1- Defence Minister AK Antony is in
favour of taking stern action against the senior Army officers,
who are responsible for wrongly issuing a “no-objection
certificate” to private individuals for allowing construction
on a 70-acre chunk of land adjacent to an Army base in Siliguri.
Antony, who enjoys a clean image, is seeing the recent case as
something that could weaken the ability of the Army to handle
security challenges. “It will be prompt action against those who
will be found guilty”,said sources. Antony wants that
accountability should be fixed at the earliest, they added. The
Minister of State for Defence MM Pallam Raju told reporters on
Tuesday that the Army had been told to act against the guilty.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, the Public Relations
Officer of the Indian Army Lt-Col S Om Singh termed media
reports on the three ‘guilty’ generals as “character
assassination of senior army officers”.
He said reports have appeared regarding the ongoing Court
of Inquiry.“Since the CoI is still in progress and not finalised,
therefore, speculative comments/interferences at this stage
about the guilt of an individual is not appropriate”, said the
statement that was posted on the PIB website and also-
emailed to reporters by the Army PRO.
