Former DGMO clarifies on troop movement towards Delhi in 2012
- 5 years ago
A fresh controversy has erupted over the movement of two Army units near Delhi in 2012 with the then DGMO Lt Gen A.K. Choudhary saying there may have been "distrust" between the Army and government on the issue, a view rejected by the National Security Advisor (NSA) on Friday.
"There was misconception or there was perceptional difference or there may be distrust," Lt Gen Choudhary said on Friday after he was quoted in an interview, saying that the then Defence Secretary Shashi Kant Sharma had asked him to send the troops back as the government at the highest level was "worried" over this.
When asked about this, NSA Shivshankar Menon said there was no distrust between the Army and government.
"I don't see there is distrust. How can I comment on something that I don't see. Because I am a civilian, I work very closely with the Army every day. I don't see that," he said.
