Congress spokesperson P C Chacko said “irresponsible” statements from Singh brought “disgrace” to the Army.
“What he has said, I do not think he himself can prove it,” Chacko said, adding, “Even a retired general is a general. He should not be making such statements.”
Union Minister Rajiv Shukla said Singh's remark was not in national interest and that persons, who have held such high positions like Army Chief should not make such statements after retirement without any substance.
J and K Sports minister and state Congress leader Taj Mohiuddin dared the former Army chief to name the ministers who were given funds.
