PAC SCANDAL ARTICLE IN SAMANA
लोकलेखा समितीचा गळा घोटणे हा दडपादडपीच्या नाट्याचा पहिला अंक आहे. पुढील प्रवेश अद्याप बाकी आहेत...!
घोटाळ्याची दडपादडपी!घोटाळे कसे करायचे आणि कसे पचवायचे यात कॉंग्रेस पक्षाचा हात कोणालाच धरता येणार नाही. कॉंग्रेसच्या नेत्यांना त्याचे बाळकडू पाळण्यातच मिळत असावे. जगाच्या इतिहासातील सर्वात मोठ्या २ जी स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्याची चौकशी करणार्या संसदेच्या लोकलेखा समितीचा गळा घोटून कॉंग्रेसने हेच सिद्ध केले आहे. हा घोटाळा दडपण्यासाठी कॉंग्रेस कोणत्याही पातळीवर जायला तयार असल्याचेच स्पष्ट झाले. गुरुवारी या समितीची निर्णायक बैठक होती. भाजपचे ज्येष्ठ नेते डॉ. मुरली मनोहर जोशी हे या समितीचे अध्यक्ष आहेत. १ लाख ७६ हजार कोटी रुपयांचा जो स्पेक्ट्रम महाघोटाळा केला त्याची चौकशी डॉ. जोशी यांच्या नेतृत्वाखालील समितीने केली. या समितीची एकही बैठक कॉंग्रेस-द्रमुकच्या सदस्यांनी नीट होऊ दिली नाही. त्यातूनही चौकशी अहवाल तयार झाला. मात्र अहवालाचा मसुदा गुरुवारच्या बैठकीत मांडण्याआधीच फुटला. पंतप्रधान मनमोहन सिंग यांना समितीने निर्दोष ठरवले, पण पंतप्रधान कार्यालयावर मात्र गंभीर स्वरूपाचा ठपका ठेवला. एवढेच नाही तर गृहमंत्री पी. चिदंबरम यांनाही समितीने दोषी ठरवल्याच्या बातम्या छापून आल्या. त्यामुळे हादरलेल्या कॉंग्रेस पक्षाने घोटाळ्यांचे किटाळ झटकण्यासाठी समितीमध्येच गोंधळ घालण्याचा कट रचला. फक्त गोंधळच नाही तर लोकलेखा समितीचा अहवालच कसा फेटाळता येईल या विषयीचे कटकारस्थानही रचण्यात आले. त्याची रंगीत तालीमही म्हणे करण्यात आली. त्यानुसार स्वतंत्र हिंदुस्थानच्या ६० वर्षांच्या इतिहासात कधी झाला नाही असा गोंधळ लोकलेखा समितीच्या बैठकीत झाला. भ्रष्टाचार हा कॉंग्रेस पक्षासाठी तसा शिष्टाचारच असला तरी ‘वरून कीर्तन आतून तमाशा’ असेच त्यांचे धोरण असते. त्यामुळे भ्रष्टाचार करायचा, त्यासाठी सत्तेची सर्व आयुधे बिनदिक्कतपणे वापरायची. मात्र वेळ आली की सरळ हात झटकायचे. स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्यातील मुख्य आरोपी ए. राजा असोत किंवा राष्ट्रकुल घोटाळ्याचे खासदार सुरेश कलमाडी. हे सर्व घोटाळे जणू फक्त या दोघांनीच केले, पंतप्रधान कार्यालयापासून अन्य सरकारी यंत्रणांपर्यंत कुणालाच हे घोटाळे होत असताना कसलीच खबरबात नव्हती असा
निरपराधपणाचा आव आता आणला जात आहे. कॉंग्रेसवाल्यांचा हा मुखवटाच लोकलेखा समितीच्या फुटलेल्या अहवालाने टराटरा फाडला. त्यामुळेच ‘दहा, जनपथ’च्या निष्ठावानांचे पित्त खवळले. लोकलेखा समितीच्या बैठकीत विरोधी पक्षाच्या काही सदस्यांना हाताशी धरून ती बैठकच हायजॅक केली गेली आणि डॉ. जोशी यांच्या जागी दुसरा अध्यक्ष नेमून तो अहवालच फेटाळण्यात आल्याचा बनाव करण्यात आला. सीबीआयच्या बागूलबोवापुढे शेपूट घालणार्यांनी यावेळीही कॉंग्रेसवाल्यांच्या या दडपादडपीच्या प्रयोगात सरकारच्या पाठिंब्याची भूमिका वठविली. त्यामुळे केंद्र सरकारची इभ्रत तूर्त वाचल्याचे चित्र निर्माण झाले असले तरी ते फसवे आणि दिखाऊ आहे हे येथील जनता जाणते. अर्थात, हे प्रकरण इथेच संपत नाही. मुळात लोकलेखा समिती ही एक घटनात्मक संस्था आहे. समितीच्या सदस्यांना अध्यक्ष ठरवण्याचा अधिकारच नाही. तो अधिकार फक्त लोकसभा अध्यक्षांचा आहे. पुन्हा लोकलेखा समितीचे अध्यक्षपद विरोधी पक्षाकडेच ठेवण्याचा रिवाज आहे. मात्र स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्याचे भूत मानगुटीवरून उतरवण्यासाठी कॉंग्रेसने हे सर्व नीतिनियम पायदळी तुडवले त्याचे कारण एकच आहे. कॉंग्रेसला स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्याची चौकशीच नको आहे. तसे नसते तर २००८ मध्ये झालेल्या या महाघोटाळ्याची फाईल कॉंग्रेस सरकारने तीन वर्षे दडपून ठेवलीच नसती. विरोधकांनी स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्याच्या चौकशीसाठी संयुक्त संसदीय समितीची मागणी केली. त्यालाही कॉंग्रेसने विरोध केला. दीड महिना संसद ठप्प होती. ‘‘लोकलेखा समिती असताना ‘जेपीसी’ कशाला?’’ अशी भूमिका घेऊन कॉंग्रेसच्या दीडशहाण्यांनी तेव्हा लोकलेखा समितीला भरघोस पाठिंबाच जाहीर केला होता. म्हणजे ‘जेपीसी’ होऊ द्यायची नाही आणि पाशवी बहुमताच्या जोरावर लोकलेखा समितीचा अहवाल फेकून द्यायचा हेच कॉंग्रेसचे षड्यंत्र होते. ज्या लोकलेखा समितीचे कॉंग्रेस गुणगान करत होती त्या समितीवरच कॉंग्रेस नेत्यांनी वरवंटा फिरवला. कॉंग्रेसची कथनी, करनी आणि नियत यामध्ये कशी खोट आहे हेच यानिमित्ताने पुन्हा एकदा चव्हाट्यावर आले. स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्यात पंतप्रधान कार्यालय आणि गृहमंत्री चिदंबरम यांच्यावर ठपका ठेवून समितीने अशी कोणती चूक केली?
मंत्रिमंडळात मांडीला मांडी लावून बसणारा दूरसंचारमंत्री सरकारच्या तिजोरीवर पावणेदोन लाख कोटींचा दरोडा घालतोय हे पंतप्रधान कार्यालयाच्या लक्षात आले नाही यावर शेंबडे पोरही विश्वास ठेवणार नाही. केंद्रीय गृहमंत्री पी. चिदंबरम हे घोटाळा झाला तेव्हा अर्थमंत्री होते. पंतप्रधानांप्रमाणेच त्यांच्या टेबलावरही स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्याच्या तक्रारी पोहचल्या, पण कागदी घोडे नाचवण्याशिवाय चिदंबरम यांनी काहीही केले नाही. तेव्हाचे गृहमंत्री शिवराज पाटील- चाकूरकर यांनी तर स्वान टेलिकॉम आणि युनिटेक या कंपन्यांना सुरक्षेच्या कारणामुळे स्पेक्ट्रमचे वाटप करू नये असा रिपोर्टच तयार केला होता. मात्र चाकूरकरांचे पद गेले आणि त्यांच्या जागेवर गृहमंत्री झालेल्या चिदंबरम यांनी हा रिपोर्ट ए. राजा यांच्याकडे पाठवलाच नाही. स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळा उघडकीस आणण्यात हनुमानाची भूमिका निभावणार्या डॉ. सुब्रमण्यम स्वामी यांनी याच मुद्यावर चिदंबरम यांच्याविरुद्ध खटला भरण्याची परवानगी पंतप्रधानांकडे मागितली आहे. पंतप्रधान, अर्थमंत्री, गृहमंत्री सर्वांना पत्र लिहून घोटाळा रोखण्याविषयी डॉ. स्वामी आर्जवे करीत होते. २००८ मध्येच ही सर्व पत्रे मिळूनही पंतप्रधान कार्यालयासह एकाही मंत्र्याने स्पेक्ट्रमचा महाघोटाळा रोखण्यासाठी प्रयत्न का केले नाहीत या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर कॉंग्रेसने देशाला द्यायला हवे. पंतप्रधान मनमोहन सिंग हे स्वच्छ प्रतिमेचे आहेत, पण याच स्वच्छ पंतप्रधानांच्या राजवटीत देशाच्या इतिहासातील सर्वात मोठे घोटाळे उघडकीस येत आहेत याला काय म्हणावे? मंत्र्यांच्या लाखो-कोटींचा भ्रष्टाचार डोळे बंद करून पाहणे हादेखील गुन्हाच नव्हे काय? भ्रष्टाचार करणे आणि तो हजम करणे यात कॉंग्रेस पक्षाने ‘डॉक्टरेट’च मिळविली आहे. ६५ कोटींच्या बोफोर्स घोटाळ्याच्या चौकशीवर २५० कोटी रुपये खर्च झाले, मात्र ‘पुरावे नाहीत’ असे दोन शब्दांत सांगून सीबीआयने हा खटलाच मागे घेतला. स्पेक्ट्रम घोटाळ्याची वाटचालही त्याच दिशेने सुरू आहे. लोकलेखा समितीचा गळा घोटणे हा दडपादडपीच्या नाट्याचा पहिला अंक आहे. पुढील प्रवेश अद्याप बाकी आहेत...!

Being a Muslim woman This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim. This is not hearsay, and it will scare you. Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end. |
Joys of Muslim Women by Nonie DarwishIn the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child, consummating the marriage by 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy. Even though a woman is abused, she cannot obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honour killing) to restore the honour of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and the man does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have 4 wives and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion. The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the Western World (UK) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife cannot obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah
Law.
Ripping the West in Two. Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.
Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt
andGaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel. He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza. When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr forjihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim
culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television. In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping Shariah law - what it is, what it means and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose Sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.
Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.
While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others. While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult
questions that could be interpreted as criticism.
It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation. While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over
time, Darwish explains how petrol dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.K. to elect the Prime Minister by themselves! Rest assured they will do so. You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA. Dearborn Mich. is one; and there are others.
I think everyone in the U.K. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!
It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful; some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam, the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America.
This is your chance to make a difference...! Pass it on to your email list or at least those you think will listen.

A gala event has occurred in Gaza
Hamas sponsored a mass wedding for four hundred and fifty couples.
Most of the grooms were in their mid to late twenties; most of brides were under ten.
Muslim dignitaries including Mahmud Zahar, a leader of Hamas, were on hand to congratulate
the couples who took part in the carefully staged celebration.
We are saying to the world and to America that you cannot deny us joy and happiness, Zahar told the grooms, all of whom were dressed in identical black suits and hailed from the nearby Jabalia refugee camp.
Each groom received a gift of 500 dollars from Hamas.
The pre-pubescent girls, dressed in white gowns and adorned with garish make-up, received bridal bouquets.
We are presenting this wedding as a gift to our people who stood firm in the face of the siege and the war, local Hamas strongman Ibrahim Salaf said in a speech.
The wedding photos tell the rest of the sordid tale.
The International Centre for Research on Women estimates that there are 51 million child brides now living on planet earth and almost all in
Muslim countries.
Twenty-nine percent of these child brides are regularly beaten and molested by their husbands in Egypt; twenty six percent receive similar abuse in Jordan.Each groom received a gift of 500 dollars from Hamas.

most of the new officers has a strikingly common strand—they belong to small towns and villages
Every year, the Officers Training Academy at Chennai and the Indian Military Academy (IMA) at Dehradun jointly turn out more than 1,200 officers. In the last few years, the profile of most of the new officers has a strikingly common strand—they belong to small towns and villages. Many are the sons of naiks and havildars—non commissioned officers, who spent a lifetime serving under commissioned officers.
Defence analyst Maroof Raza agrees it is a significant change of profile for the Army officer. "Almost 80% of the officers joining up today are from a lower middle class or middle class background," he says.
Is the Indian Army becoming more meritocratic? Time was when the Army was considered the exclusive domain of erstwhile royalty and families who prided themselves on a tradition of soldiering. Observers say the changing demographic in the officer ranks indicates the increasingly heterogeneous nature of the world's second-largest army. This is also reflected in the recruitment of jawans, with practically every Indian state contributing a set number determined on the basis of its population and ethnic groups.
Clearly, the Indian Army is becoming more inclusive but some analysts complain its talent pool is shrinking. "When I look around, I see a number of officers who joined the Army as a last resort. They weren't able to get anywhere else, so they came here," says a serving major, who doesn't wish to be named.
Attracting—and more important, retaining—talent has been a problem for the Army for several years. This is thought to be the main reason it suffers a shortfall of officers. Many serving and retired officers say it is hard to advertise an Army job as attractive because it pays less than the private sector. Retired Colonel P N Khera, who edits the Delhi journal, Asia Defence News, points out that the Army's new inclusiveness is at least partly a product of its low pay. "We have the children of JCOs/Other Ranks, who are already exposed to the defence life and want to reach the level that their fathers couldn't," he says. Khera adds that "in terms of comfort level and pay scale, there are much more lucrative career options available now. That's why many officers' children don't join the services."
But what does that really mean? Do the children of Other Ranks automatically make for a poorer quality of officer? No one is willing to say so. Retired Brigadier M B Anand, who was military attaché to former Army chief Gen B C Joshi, insists that "our officers are among the best in the world". Anand declares that this is the result of " years of training". So what's the problem with having 'almost-gentlemen' become officers? Many old-school officers quietly suggest there are "adjustment problems", which no amount of training can overcome. A former Artillery major offers the sort of logic many put forward anonymously. "The sort of officers who now join up come from the smaller towns and villages. They are people who might not understand the intricacies of the 'dastoor' or practices of the old Army," he says.
The middle-class distaste at being "swamped by the masses" spills over into a crucial area for any fighting force— communication. A former captain says that "despite the training, there are many rough corners that need to be smoothed in many (new) officers. For instance, I worked under people who couldn't write a single straight paragraph in English to save their lives. It was very frustrating."
As an analyst, Maroof Raza has a ringside view of the Army that is changing as fast as India's economic contours. "Most people joining up today might not have gone to public schools. Many are not comfortable with English. But, the Army is not looking for such brilliance. They're looking for above average people – who, if given an order to go out and capture a hill, will go and do just that," he says.
The good thing now is the likely flattening of class divisions. A doctor in the Army Medical Corps says the class divide between officers and their men has to blur because many new officers are sons of jawans. "This was almost unthinkable in an officer-driven organization like the Indian Army earlier," he says. The change is slow but obvious.
Hindi is slowly replacing English as the preferred language. Parties in the officers mess now choose Bollywood rather than Western music. A serving major agrees that "in many small ways, we are slowly adapting a culture that is reflecting our homogeneity".
So what does it all really mean for the Army? A former IMA instructor says it shows the Army is reflecting its adaptability and "will continue to march ahead with infusion of new ideas." He says the new officers should actually be seen as a highly desirable breed of men. They "have come up the hard way are extremely career-oriented. This will make the Army a much more professional outfit."
Defence analyst Maroof Raza agrees it is a significant change of profile for the Army officer. "Almost 80% of the officers joining up today are from a lower middle class or middle class background," he says.
Is the Indian Army becoming more meritocratic? Time was when the Army was considered the exclusive domain of erstwhile royalty and families who prided themselves on a tradition of soldiering. Observers say the changing demographic in the officer ranks indicates the increasingly heterogeneous nature of the world's second-largest army. This is also reflected in the recruitment of jawans, with practically every Indian state contributing a set number determined on the basis of its population and ethnic groups.
Clearly, the Indian Army is becoming more inclusive but some analysts complain its talent pool is shrinking. "When I look around, I see a number of officers who joined the Army as a last resort. They weren't able to get anywhere else, so they came here," says a serving major, who doesn't wish to be named.
Attracting—and more important, retaining—talent has been a problem for the Army for several years. This is thought to be the main reason it suffers a shortfall of officers. Many serving and retired officers say it is hard to advertise an Army job as attractive because it pays less than the private sector. Retired Colonel P N Khera, who edits the Delhi journal, Asia Defence News, points out that the Army's new inclusiveness is at least partly a product of its low pay. "We have the children of JCOs/Other Ranks, who are already exposed to the defence life and want to reach the level that their fathers couldn't," he says. Khera adds that "in terms of comfort level and pay scale, there are much more lucrative career options available now. That's why many officers' children don't join the services."
But what does that really mean? Do the children of Other Ranks automatically make for a poorer quality of officer? No one is willing to say so. Retired Brigadier M B Anand, who was military attaché to former Army chief Gen B C Joshi, insists that "our officers are among the best in the world". Anand declares that this is the result of " years of training". So what's the problem with having 'almost-gentlemen' become officers? Many old-school officers quietly suggest there are "adjustment problems", which no amount of training can overcome. A former Artillery major offers the sort of logic many put forward anonymously. "The sort of officers who now join up come from the smaller towns and villages. They are people who might not understand the intricacies of the 'dastoor' or practices of the old Army," he says.

INDIAN ARMY TRANSFORMATION IN PROGRESS
Till a few years ago, the term "interoperability" was virtually missing from the Indian military's lexicon. Indian commanders learnt it in the flurry of joint combat exercises with US armed forces after the post-Pokhran-II thaw of 1998. Today, the Indian top brass flings the word "interoperability" about with as much ease as American generals.
But internally, the 1.13-million strong Indian Army grapples with a new buzzword: transformation. With Army chief General V K Singh leading the charge, the aim is to transform the world's second largest army, with a poor teeth-to-tail ratio, into "an agile, lethal, versatile and net-worked force, which is capability-based to meet future challenges". Gen Singh says the transformation must be 360 degrees and "enhance operational capability through reorganization, restructuring, force development and relocation." Those are big words, but the force is not all talk. The Army has conducted 13 transformation studies. These range from ways to consolidate strike capabilities and "flatten" HQs, to "synergising" all resources and revamping the Corps of Military Police. The results of the studies were pondered by the just-concluded Army commanders' conference in Delhi.
Some of the Army's new transformative concepts are already being "test-bedded" and Gen Singh has ruled that delays will not be tolerated. The "stipulated timeframes" for overall transformation, even though revolutionary in scope, are expected to fructify in the next year or two. Deadlines are "sacrosanct", Gen Singh has warned. Change is urgently needed. The Army needs to be transformed considering it is engaged on still-unresolved borders with two nuclear-armed neighbours, even as it tackles militancy in the hinterland. Altogether, the Army is said to face "a two-and-a-half front challenge".
In any case, India needs to build military capabilities that chime with its expanding geo-political aspirations and the vast expanse—stretching from the Persian Gulf right up to the Straits of Malacca—dubbed its "primary area of interest". What led to this much-needed re-think? It didn't happen overnight but its origins could loosely be traced back to the December 2001 attack on Parliament, which led the Army to launch the ponderous 'Operation Parakram', the 10-month-long massive forward troop mobilization along the western front.
Operation Parakram's lumbering mobilization of "strike formations" at the border launch pads took almost a month. That gave Pakistan time enough to shore up its defences and the US to pressure the then NDA government to back off. That was when the mood swung towards transformation, modernization and the "pro-active war strategy", loosely called the 'Cold Start' doctrine, which has rattled Pakistan no end. Ever since, the Army has worked to build the capability to mobilize fast and hit hard with self-contained and highly mobile "battle groups". It wants to be ready-and-out within 96 hours to ensure Pakistan does not have the time to prepare for counter attack.
The proposed transformation seeks to further hone this. A crucial element, for instance, is to bring together the Army's three principal offensive formations -- 1 Corps (Mathura), 2 Corps (Ambala) and 21 Corps (Bhopal)—under one operational strategic command. Gen Singh, in fact, says the Army wants to "re-organize and relocate to enhance and optimize operational capabilities both for plains and mountains", create "network-centricity", integrate logistics to support the "high tempo of future operations'' and enhance operational synergy with the Air Force and Navy.
Big words again but the subtext is clear. After decades of working to a Pakistan-centric strategy geared to battle on the plains, the Army now wants to also build its capability for offensive mountain warfare with China. Transformation also entails major force accretions and modernization for the eastern front, along with the simultaneous strengthening of capabilities on the western one.
The lessons have been learnt. A new South-Western Command was created as the Army's sixth operational command at Jaipur in 2005, falling between the Western and Southern Commands, to provide a greater offensive punch on the western front. Similarly, two new mountain warfare divisions centred around Zakama (Nagaland) and Misamari (Assam) have now been raised, with 1,260 officers and 35,011 soldiers, as well as spy drone bases, for the eastern front with China. An almost Rs 10,000-crore plan was cleared last year to for military infrastructure development in the North-East, with a new mountain strike corps and a third artillery division also on the anvil.
The Indian Air Force, much smaller than the Indian Army, is also taking steps to bridge the gaping military asymmetry with China. After Tezpur, it is now basing Sukhoi-30MKIs at Chabua (Assam), as well as upgrading eastern sector ALGs (advanced landing grounds) like Pasighat, Mechuka, Walong, Tuting, Ziro and Vijaynagar and helipads in Arunachal Pradesh. Plans are also underway to progressively base six surface-to-air Akash missile squadrons in the North-East to counter Chinese fighters, helicopters and drones.
So far so good. The problem is the Army's modernization is lagging, with critical deficiencies in artillery, air defence, aviation and night-fighting capabilities. India's lengthy and controversy-ridden military procurement process, coupled with the embarrassing lack of a robust domestic defence-industrial base, are an enormous problem in the planned modernization. But, most important of all is the operation of that term "interoperability" between the Army and defence ministry.
