“In these political times, stay away from…”: Ex-Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria
New Delhi [India], September 20 (ANI): Whatever is correct and justified, which needs to be taken up, must be taken up through the right channels, said President of Air Force Association and former Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria while asserting the officers to “stay away from politics in these political times.”
Bhadauria was speaking at the Annual General Meeting of the Air Force Association (AFA) in Delhi.
“I got more concerned in the last one-odd week when a different twist to this is being given in terms of creating a wedge between officers and men. That officers are getting more…which is taking a political colour…We must stay away from this,” the former Air Chief Marshal said.
He further said, “There is nothing like this, there is no merit in these arguments. I am aware of each single anomaly and case that has been taken up…I must clearly spell out that in these political times, we must stay away from politics of it. Whatever is correct and justified, which needs to be taken up, must be taken up through the right channels. That is the only way result comes, that is the only way the issue will get addressed,” he said.
“One is from Pay Commission and all its anomalies and the other is some OROP-related anomalies which have all been taken up by the Service with the Ministry. The fact that it is taking to resolve does not mean that it is not in the process,” he added.
