There have been rows in the recent past involving the government and the former Army chief.
While in service, Gen. Singh had dragged the government to court over the issue of his age after Defence Ministry refused to accept his claims regarding the same.
Recently, he blamed an unknown individual in the Prime Ministers' Office as being behind the alleged Tatra truck deal scam as also the age row.
The former Army chief, in his autobiography, has also suggested that the top leadership of the country has always been paranoid of a military coup.
