The Indian Army's administrative wing is under sharp attack from both Defense Minister A.K. Antony as well as the army chief, Gen V.K. Singh, who blamed it for the age row that has pitted the officer against the government leading to civil-military confrontation.
Two branches of army maintained two different dates of births and nobody noticed it for 36 years depicts the lethargic attitude of our Army and now the government has made it clear that it is not willing to amend records, some of which are decades old, to reflect that General Singh was born in 1951. Conversely, Indian incumbent Army General V K Singh is putting pressure on government to increase his age row so that he could get further benefits from his service. However, this stern stance of V K Singh against his age controversy has resulted in internal rifts in Indian Army and it has been divided into various factions, some of them are in favor of V K Singh and other are against him. Whereas, there are solid proofs that Gen V K Singh is trying to manipulate his age row controversy to let down Defense Ministry in spite of getting an illegitimate extension of one more year.
