Ok let me ask you this.Yusufji, Come on. Its about time we stopped this non sense. We have become so used to corruption so much so that we have started to tolerate even the Corruption in our own security. When will we change then?
I don't understand on what basis anyone can defend Antony. The fact that he doesn't take personal bribes?
True honesty in his position is about COURAGE and CHARACTER and ACTION. Does Antony have any of these traits?
What is his primary responsibility to the nation?
1. Defense preparedness of Indian armed forces, including equipment, training and morale.
OR
2. Ensuring that there is no corruption in defense deals
I hope we can all agree that it's #1.
If Antony succeeds in ensuring that there is no corruption, but neglects his primary duty to the nation, he has FAILED.
And if he is so serious about weeding out corruption that he takes even anonymous letters seriously, then please explain to me why, when the Chief of Indian Army is walking into his office and telling him personally about a bribery attempt, didn't he jump up and down and follow this lead to its logical end like a hound dog?
It is NOT the Chief's job to go after people outside the Army. It is the Defense Minister's job.
Antony has failed his office, he has failed the armed services and he has failed his nation.
Rather interesting.BADGE OF SHAME
The Indian army's saga of shame continues. Ironically, the chief of the army is inextricably linked to this unfolding tale. First, it was a pointless squabble over the army chief's date of birth. Something that could have been corrected and resolved within a few minutes was made to drag on to an unseemly legal battle between the army chief, V.K. Singh, and the government of India. No sooner had the dust died down over this controversy that Mr Singh chose to burst another bombshell. He said in an interview that a former general of the Indian army had offered him a bribe for sanctioning the purchase of trucks. He had reported the incident to the minister of defence, A.K. Antony. According to the latter, the army chief had expressed a desire not to pursue the matter. The incident, it should be mentioned, occurred more than a year ago. This raises a number of questions to which Mr Singh or the defence minister is not offering any answers or even clues to an answer. Why did Mr Singh decide not to pursue the matter? Why is he raking up the matter now at the fag end of his career? And why did he not ask the military police to detain the former general who had offered the bribe?
These questions strongly suggest that Mr Singh failed to do his duty. He has thus brought shame and dishonour to the institution that he claims he has served with honour. Further, Mr Singh, in various interviews, is throwing out tantalizing hints that what he has revealed is only a small part of the truth. This, again, is extraordinary and mystifying. If indeed Mr Singh has knowledge about skeletons in the army's cupboard, he should bring them to light instead of being coy about them or, what is worse, trying to use these 'secrets' as pawns in some obscure chess game. It is nobody's argument or belief that the army in India is squeaky clean. There is enough evidence to indicate the contrary. Mr Singh would be doing a great service to the army and the nation by revealing what he knows. By speaking in hints and suggestions and by not taking appropriate action when required, Mr Singh has done serious damage to his credibility. The cumulative harm done to the morale of the Indian army is immeasurable. The jawans of the Indian army deserve better than what the top brass of the army are now doing in terms of bringing down confidence. Obviously, something is rotten or rotting.

No wonder Laloo wants Govt control not to go.
Defence minister AK Antony was formally apprised of the Tatra trucks scam as early as 2009 but he turned a blind eye. DNA detailed this scam in a series of investigative stories in July 2011.
This assumes significance because Antony recently told Parliament that he didn't act when army chief General VK Singh told him he was offered a Rs14 crore bribe to clear the purchase of a tranche of substandard Tatra trucks because he didn't get a 'written complaint'.
If a 'written complaint' is what it takes to act, why didn't Antony or his ministry react when Ghulam Nabi Azad, a senior Congress party colleague and then health minister, wrote to him on behalf of Sonia Gandhi requesting "necessary action" in the Tatra matter? DNA has a copy of Azad's letter dated October 5, 2009.
