NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday threw out a PIL by an energy scientist and social activist seeking ouster of Gen (rtd) V K Singh from the Union Council of Ministers on the ground that a series of faux pautic statements by him had damaged India considerably in the international arena.
The petitioner, Chandrasekaran Ramaswamy, told a bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana that from the 2013 statement about all Kashmiri politicians being paid by Indian Army , to a recent statement about You do not know how many times we have crossed Indo-China line of actual control as per our perception , Gen Singh has brought disrepute to the country and given a handle to China to rely on such statements to counter India s stand about Chinese aggression in Jammu and Kashmir s Ladakh region.
