ARMY-SCAM 2LST

General Kapoor's remarks on dispensation of justice
assume significance against the backdrop of media reports that
some of the indicted generals could get away lightly.
At the outset of the press conference, the Army Chief
began with the remarks that "before you ask questions, I would
like to flag a few currently relevant issues and the first and
foremost is the Sukna case" .
He said after due deliberations and analysis of the
case, a set of directions has been issued but added that as
disciplinary proceedings were on, it would not be proper for
him to comment on the case.
The Army Chief said that the case was brought to
light by the Army itself and not by any agency outside.
He said the Army, unlike other organisations, works on
non-profit motive and in national interest and works on
national security considerations.
General Kapoor said the culture and ethos of the Army
have to be retained at a high level and emphasised the role of
media in this. PTI
