MAJ GEN SATBIR SINGH:
PLEASE INTROSPECT AND STOP FOOLING YOURSELF
Respected Veteran Gen Satbir Singh,
Chairman IESM
Jai Hind.
- Vide your email dt. 17 Aug 2016, reproduced below; you had categorically assured that IESM is not rpt not going political.
- It is however surprising that vide your email dt. 21 Oct 2016, reproduced below, you have sought Donation for Fauji Janta Party (FJP), as its Chief Patron. It is normally the President/Vice President/General Secretary of a Political Party who seeks Donation; but in this case, it is you as Chief Patron of FJP who is seeking Donation. By so doing; you have made it amply clear that you are very much part & parcel of FJP. Since you are Chairman IESM and Chief Patron Fauji Janta Paty (FJP), at the same time, ipso facto, IESM as an Org stands very much politicized.
- I have no problem whether you form a Political Party or join a Political Party or align yourself with a Political Party or vote for any Political Party of your chice; for that is your fundamental right under the Constitution. But what makes me feel sad is, ‘how come you, the leading light of IESM, have made a laughing stock of yourself’. Just by assuming the mantle of Chief Patron of FJP, you thought State Chiefs of other parties, viz. the Congress, the BJP, the Akalis and the AAP would fall at your feet and beg you to ally FJP with them. What wishful thinking. I wish you had realized that even a person like Navjot Singh Sidhu, an all India personality, today finds himself hanging in thin air, with nobody willing to touch him. ‘Jab Sidhu ki dhaal nahi gali; aur, usko koyi Ghaas daalneko thaiyar nahi; tho aapko kaun poochega?
- Rather sad. I suggest, even now it is not too late for you to beat a hasty retreat; and save yourself from further embarrassment.
Regards,
Col Rajan
