Corruption is becoming more and more brazen in our country. And when it is dug out of India's Defense establishment, the faceless common Indian feels hopeless, ashamed, heart-broken and insecure he wants to look up to the Army with pride and respect.
More than one aspect seems to be questionable to a simple mind. One can't understand the probable logic behind the defense chopper deal - only one company - Eurocopters - makes VVIP choppers which can function at heights more that 6,000 metres so they brought the height criterion to 4,500 metres ; All to avoid a Single Tender transaction! What happens when a VVIP has to visit Siachen and other high defense-posts (eg in Arunachal Pradesh)?
What is the priority of this deal : Multi- tender transactions or defense suitability? The country's security is directly related to this point.
Also while his name has cropped up in the list of the accused by the Italian Government, Ex Air Force Chief Tyagi is denying any involvement in this matter. Furthermore he declares that his cousins' names have come up, the surname being common - TYAGI. If that's the case, isn't is plain and simple Conflict of Interest? While a chief of a country's Air Force is in office, how can his family members be direct stake holders in Air Defense deals?
India demands answers today. After all the money is its tax payers' money and the establishment is directly accountable.

PAKISTAN, IT'S KICK ASS TIME
5TH CEASE-FIRE VIOLATION ALONG LOC SINCE FAILED FLAG-MEET....
And now Heena Rabbani Khar accuses Indian Army Chief and Indian media of "War Mongering" of all things!!
What is India supposed to do? Hmmmmmm.......
Why does the present situation reminds me of Ellie Wallach in "The Good,The Bad and The Ugly". 'Ugly Tuco' (Ellie) was caught unawares bathing in a bath-tub when a bloke broke in, six-gunner in hand. Dumbo decided to take a pause before executing Ellie with "now u r gonna die, revenge time etc etc..".
Tuco, naked in a bath-tub, brings his own out from inside the foam and blows the big mouth away. He steps out of the tub (camera showing his legs only!), goes out of the wash-room stepping on the blown off bloke. His one-liner with a smirk :
"WHEN YOU HAVE TO SHOOT, SHOOT!.... DON'T TALK."
