[size=5][color=#000000][font=Georgia, Arial,]Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad Tuesday expressed shock over former army chief V.K. Singh's claim that ministers in Jammu and Kashmir have been receiving Money from the army's secret funds. Terming it as an "irresponsible" statement, Azad, who is a former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said: "I was shocked to know this, because I have been myself the chief minister." "I have no knowledge about this and I am as curious as you are to know about the names of the persons who were being paid and who are being paid," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here. "If I never came to know, how would the present or earlier chief minister know this," he said. Gen. (retd.) V.K. Singh said on a TV channel that the army paid Jammu and Kashmir ministers "as part of the stabilising factor". [/font][/color][/size]

[color=#000000]The former army chief also said that leaked media reports were an act "treason", and demanded a thorough inquiry into it.[/color]

[color=#000000]"If intelligence issue are being discussed in public, it is treason. You are telling the enemy what your intelligence is doing. It must be probed how the report was leaked and action should be taken against those who leaked it to malign a few people without thinking how much it will hurt the nation," V.K. Singh said at a press conference here.[/color]

[color=#000000]Reacting to the reports on destabalising the Jammu and Kashmir government, the former army chief said money given to politicians was not for personal or political use, but for programmes to engage youth in constructive work.[/color]

[color=#000000]He said money was given to a Kashmiri voluntary organisation to "do certain activities" like holding blood donation camps, running classes for women, "getting children out of the stone throwing mode".[/color]

[color=#000000]"That money was not for their personal work, or political work. If someone thinks bribe was paid, it is totally wrong... These things cannot be done in uniform, so intelligence unit did that," he said.[/color]

[color=#000000]He refused to divulge any more information about actions of the intelligence unit, but clarified it was not his "personal army".[/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]"No funds were ever provided by the Army, to any politicians, political party or any NGO in their tenures and nor would they have allowed that," the former Army Chiefs said in a joint statement issued in Delhi.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]They are Generals O P Malhotra, SF Rodrigues, Shankar Roychowdhury, Ved Prakash Malik, S Padamanabhan, NC Vij, JJ Singh and Deepak Kapoor.[/size][/font][/color]


[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]The statement came against the backdrop of a controversy over Gen V K Singh's recent remarks that the Army was paying money to certain ministers in Jammu and Kashmir to bring stability in the state.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]Gen VK Singh had later clarified that this money was not a bribe and suggested that it was given under Operation Sadbhavna of the force towards winning the hearts and minds of the people.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]The former chiefs said the aspect of paying money to ministers should not be mixed with that of Operation[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]Sadbhavna.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]"This aspect should not be mixed with 'Sadhbhavna' operations, which are carried out to provide infrastructure, education and health services etc. to the local populace in J and K and for this pre and post audited funds, with laid down deliverables and procedures, are allotted in the defence budget," they said.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Roboto, sans-serif][size=4]They further stressed that the Indian Army is completely apolitical and that they do not dabble in politics and the Army takes great pride in this time honoured tradition.[/size][/font][/color]
