Chinks in India's Armour: Are We Battle-Ready?
The latest report of Comptroller and Auditor General has exposed chinks in India's armour. It has said that India is facing massive ammunition shortage with reserves that will barely last 20 days of intense war. On We The People, we debate: Is India battle ready? Who's responsible for the lack of ammunition? Has 'Jai Jawan' been reduced to a mere slogan by politicians and bureaucrats? General VP Malik in 1999 and General VK Singh in 2012 wrote to the then governments on the lack of equipment. Why were their alarm bells ignored? The CAG report has flagged shortfalls during UPA regime. So does the buck stop with the Congress?
