Army chief age row: Govt stands firm, wants records reconciled
With less than a week to go before Army chief VK Singh's petition on the row over his age comes up in the Supreme Court, sources have told NDTV that the Ministry of Defence has written a letter to the Adjutant's General's branch asking for an amendment in records for the Army Chief's year of birth. According to the records of the Adjutant's General - the official record keeper for the Indian Army - General Singh's year of birth is 1951. The government wants it reconciled to 1950.
