New Delhi, June 01, 2025 (ANI): On statements made by CDS Gen Anil Chauhan in an interview in Singapore, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh said, "... It would have been better that what he has spoken, the Defence Minister should have said it in the two all-party meetings he had chaired... Whatever Gen Chauhan has said, this information should have been shared with the opposition leaders, and a special session of the Parliament should have been convened... We had to wait for General Chauhan to make these revelations from Singapore... Three days after the Kargil war ended, Prime Minister Vajpayee set up a Kargil Review Committee... The report was prepared by four members, including the father of EAM Dr S Jaishankar... This report was tabled in the Parliament... There are military issues which only the military can discuss, but there are political issues... This nexus between China and Pakistan, which became very apparent during Op Sindoor, needs to be addressed in the all-party meeting with the Prime Minister in the chair... Why did we have to wait for statements from Singapore? We are supposed to be the mother of democracy... The issues that Gen Chauhan raised are critical and they impinge not just on military strategy, they impinge on foreign policy, economic strategy, and diplomatic strategy...
