New Delhi: No coup can take place in India, asserts former Army chief Gen V K Singh, who faced allegations of planning a military takeover last year when he was locked in a major row with the government on his age issue.






He made this assertion for the first time since being accused of mobilising two units -- one from Hisar in Haryana and another from Agra in Uttar Pradesh -- towards Delhi in January last year, which was seen as a coup attempt.

"No. A big No. No in font 100 and in capitals...This kind of a thing is not done," Singh told PTI in an interview when asked if a coup can take place in India.

On the allegation of a coup attempt, the then Army Chief rubbished a suggestion that two units of the Army could topple the government.
