Indian Navy Reluctantly Relents

After waiting of over 10 years, Indian Navy reluctantly relents to say that they have no records of the Redressal of Grievance (ROG) submitted by me in 2002 to the then Commanding Officer of INS Hamla, Commodore Paras Nath against his initiating a false citation in favour of his crony, then Commander OP Kaura. However, a copy of the letter written by the Commanding Officer to Vice Admiral Madanjit Singh (Retd), the then Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command and an accused in Adarsh Scam has been forwarded, without enclosures.  

Apparently, the then Commodore justified his actions by stating blatant lies and what happened thereafter, is now a mystery. However, this letter is good enough to know that the entire edifice of the Indian Navy is standing on deceit with corrupt senior officers going out of their way to protect their protégée just because they share similar values or come from the same academy. If the system was fair, it would have instituted an enquiry and dug the truth out, when the episode was still fresh.

Drawing a contrast with the expose of Mr Kejriwal, I wonder if there is any difference between the politicians, bureaucrats and the senior service officers. I conclude, after putting a brave fight for over a decade and resigning my commission that this country is stinking of filth. That day is not very far when either there will be a civil war or this country will be taken over by a foreign power.

We do not need enemies from outside; we have enough within.

Amen!!!
