Nagpur: Accusing the Centre of “misusing” intelligence agencies and armed forces for political dividend, BJP today said former Army chief General V K Singh was falsely accused of allegedly attempting to destabilise Jammu and Kashmir government.
“General Singh is being implicated in attempts to topple the Jammu and Kashmir government (during his tenure as Army chief)..Why would a General do this?” BJP spokesman Prakash Javdekar said here today.
He was responding to a query to a media report saying the General misused the secret service funds to topple the Omar Abdullah government.
The BJP had accused Congress of “hounding” Singh for sharing the stage with its PM-hopeful Narendra Modi at a rally in Haryana.
According to a media report quoting an Army document, Singh paid off an NGO to try change the line of succession in the Army top brass, to buy off-air interception equipment and to conduct “unauthorised” covert operations.
