V K Singh attacks predecessors over age issue
New Delhi: Former army chief V K Singh has attacked his predecessor J J Singh, claiming that he initiated a “look down policy” through which he, along with a few other officers, were “fixed” to clear the way for “an officer of his choice” to take over as the Chief of Army Staff in 2012. The former chief, who spent his last days in office battling the government in court over his age issue, has said in his autobiography that the “particular officer” seemed to be the choice of people in the government including the wife of a very important political personality.Both former army chiefs J J Singh and Deepak Kapoor have contradicted the claims made by V K Singh in his book titled ‘Courage and Convictions' on issues related to his age controversy.“It is now an established fact that Gen J J Singh had, within months of taking charge, initiated the ‘look down policy' that would give a clear idea as to what the line of succession would, or could be.What mattered was chief's own list, for as COAS he could tweak events to clear the way for his choice immediately after me.
