VK Singh fails to appear before J&K panel, summons issued

Jammu: Former Army Chief General VK Singh today failed to appear before a Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Council panel over his controversial remarks against state leaders, after which fresh summons were issued to him for 22 January. Singh failed to appear before the Privileges Committee to explain his position on his allegations that politicians in the state were paid by the Army, prompting the panel to issue a summons to him through the Haryana DGP. However, an aide of Singh claimed that he had written to the Privileges Committee, which did not accept his reply and asked him to appear before it in person.[caption id=“attachment_1331595” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Former Indian Army chief General VK Singh.

AFP[/caption] “The Committee, under the chairmanship of Jugal Kishore Sharma, has decided to issue summons to him (Singh) through the Haryana Director General of Police to appear before this Committee on 22nd of this month at 2:30 pm,” member of the privilege committee, Devender Singh Rana told reporters after the conclusion of the meeting in Jammu. Rana, who is a ruling National Conference MLC and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s confidante, said “failing this, necessary action under law which is available to us will be taken against him.” Col UB Singh, a friend of Gen Singh, however, told reporters at the Legislative Council, “Singh had sent a proper reply to the Privilege Committee. But they have not taken it into consideration and refused to accept it.” When Rana was asked about this, he said “There is no reply we have received as yet.” On 9 December, last year, Privileges Committee had asked Singh to appear in person before it on January 9 to explain his position on his controversial remarks. The privilege motion against Gen Singh was moved by MLCs Ajay Sadhotra, Rana and Khalid Najeeb Suhrawardy in the last session of the Council, taking cognisance of his allegations during a TV interview in which he had claimed that Army was paying money to politicians in Jammu and Kashmir.
