Gen V K Singh.MOS (MEA) stands marginalised by the Modi dispensation.
Earlier,he was wronged by the UPA in the age row.
Controversy keeps chasing him all the time, though he is not a serial offender.
The decision to send V K Singh to Pak's high commission on its National Day,was taken by the PM and his close cabinet colleagues on the advice of all-powerful PMO's bureaucrats.who are administering country's foreign policy.
MEA's career diplomats are not kept in the loop,resulting in the IFS-- IAS stand-off.
I feel a sense of deja vu.
Similar discontentment was simmering between the two equally matched opponents,during the UPA regime.
No lessons have been learnt from history.
And,now, Lo and behold.
The Press statement read by V K Singh at prime time must have been scripted by the same set of bureaucrats as damage control step.
At least,so it seems
Modi ji's over-reliance on his trusted bureaucrats in the PMO,needs to be re-visited.
Allow all ministries freedom of speech.This is the expectation of the great silent majority in all ministries.
Country needs a focussed and consistent foreign policy. Not a looney, confused and diffused policy.
