Gen Niazi’s Mercedes - IRRESPONSIBLE ARTICLE

Gen Niazi’s Mercedes - IRRESPONSIBLE ARTICLE - NO TRUTH IN ALLEGATIONS OF JAYANTA GUPTA

1. All I can say is that this article, like so very many other articles is most ill researched. As is the norm today, the Media comes out with absolutely bizarre stories to throw up Scandals which do not exist at all. I really wonder as to how Jayanta Gupta has reached the conclusions that he did and contributed to sullying the image of the Indian Army.

2. It is also sad that that journalists of today do even not do any basic research and just shoot off an Article with Screaming Headlines without taking into account the resultant damage to some of the parties, the Army in this particular case.

3. Back to the Mercedes which belonged to Lt Gen Niazi. It is very much in Kolkatta, fully refurbished, mechanically fit and in an absolutely road worthy condition. I have had the pleasure of taking a ride in on two different occasions i.e. Jul 2009 and that last time I and my family took a ride in it as late as Sep 2010. For anyone to suggest that it is missing is an absolute figment of imagination.

4. Ask any Army’s serving Officer in HQ Eastern Command, Kolkatta and he will tell you as to where it is. TOI, I thought was a more responsible newspaper.
