TO : Shri Narendra Modi Hon’ble, Prime
Minister of India Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) New Delhi – 110 001
Hon’ble Prime
Minister,
Jai Hind!
1. With concern and anguish, I wish to
bring to your notice a trend which has set in our Country to defame Military
and pass remarks or make statements which are not only defamatory but demeaning
and character assassination of the soldiers.
These utterances and statements by some Political personalities are heard by
the Nation, consequently the people will lose faith and trust in the Military,
the last Bastion of the Country. These
happenings are having for reaching effect on the morale of the Army and
destabilizing the mental balance of dedicated and loyal soldiers.
2. Remarks or utterances by the political class and
the media against the Army are not being taken lightly by the rank and file
which makes the bulk of the armed forces fabric. A few discredited utterances
are listed below:
(a) The Indian Army Rapes and abducts
(b) Husbands stay at border & wife becomes mother! Words to that effect.
(c) Sainik joins Army to die for which he is paid for or words to that effect. (d) Saink daaru and cheap canteen ke liye aata
hai or words to that effect.
(e) The army is required to prove that they
have carried out surgical strike.
3. There
is an unwritten agreement between the soldiers and the Nation; while the
soldier will protect the integrity and sovereignty of the Nation even at the
peril of his life, the Nation will provide him the weapons and other wherewith
all and the right leadership while in service, give him the Respect, Dignity
and Justice when he is retired and when he is no more to look after his family
in a manner that they feel privileged to be the family of a soldier. This unwritten agreement is under serious
threat. Surgical measures are required
to be taken to restore the Respect, Dignity & Justice to the Soldiers.
4. The Indian Army is apolitical , and is
secular in every sense hence it is requested to ensure that henceforth no utterances are made for or
against in public or in any media. The
Army needs to be respected and admired by action and display of courtesies. Negative
comments are to be made only after establishing the facts.
5. In todays utterances, If an FIR is not
lodged against the CPM leader Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, and we do not hear a positive response we would
be constrained to go to the people of India throughout the Country.
With
regards,
Yours
Sincerely,

I appreciate Major Gen.for his timely reminder to the political class.The Major Gen.will certainly get an answer form at least one of the addressees.It will be as follows."The Govt and me had taken note of the contents of your letter.The nation is with you all soldiers.Appropriate action will be taken on the offender in appropriate time."
ReplyDeleteExcuse me sir jab ek sainik ko officers ka buttman or sahayak detail kiya jata hai tab ek sainik ki izzat kyo nahi ki jati vo aapman to aap log hi karte ho ek sainik ka aapko ek letter iske bare me bhi likhna chahiye ki army se buttman system khatam hona chahiye tab lagega ki aap sainiko ke liye sochte ho. Jai Hind
ReplyDeletesirs,
ReplyDeleteThose who talk about or release statement defaming the character of army people, a proper enquiry is to be conducted and the rumour monger like one MP who says people are joining army only for liquor and meat
he should be indicted otherwise a legal action has to be initiated against the MP who is suffering from oral piles
general sahib we are with you
A good move.
ReplyDeleteAll the politicians take the Defence services for granted which has been degraded over the years. In addition they have created a number of establishment under the disguies of Para military forces having almost the similar uniform & badges of rank including better perks & status.
ReplyDeleteA day is not far when these forces will dominate Indian Army as everyone is under the false impression that WAR will not take place but may be a world war or Nuclear War.
Sena ko politics se door rahna chahia because political logo ka koi eeman nahi hota aur vo kisi kai nahi hothe
ReplyDeleteWhy Only CPM leader ? Why r u leaving other political leader like BJP ? Did u taken butt-man while in service ?
ReplyDeleteI REALLY APPRECIATE GEN. SATBIR SINGH
ReplyDeleteshukriya general sab, koi to hai hamareliye awaz uthata hai. jaihind.
ReplyDeleteWe stand by Gen Satbir....
ReplyDeletePrime Minister should take every possible step to upkeep the morality
ReplyDeleteof our soldiers.
In developed/cultured countries if and when a *soldier in uniform* appears before the pubic they stand up and give respect.
Soldiers are the proud of every nation.
The idiotic statements *soldiers are bound to die for nation* should be given due punishment.
Such persons should compare the facilities given to lesigislators vs soldiers.
JAI HIND
