Jammu: Former Army Chief Gen V K Singh has pleaded that Jammu and Kashmir Assembly drop breach of Privilege proceedings against him over his alleged remarks that Army had paid bribes to politicians in the state, contending he has not spoken anything that was not available in the public domain.

Gen(retd) Singh also said various quotes attributed to him are “inaccurate and incorrect”.

In his response to Assembly Speaker Mubarak Gul on the breach of privilege notice, Gen Singh said, “In light of facts and circumstances, it is respectfully submitted that the allegations levelled against me by way of a breach of privilege motion by members of Legislative Assembly are not made out and appear to be a case of misinformation.”

“Therefore, the same may kindly be quashed by your goodself (Assembly Speaker) and no further proceedings in regards thereto may kindly be carried out in the interest of justice,” he said in his letter.

“I have not spoken anything that was not available in the public domain by way of certain books already published or the wiki-leaks expose, prior to the said TV interviews that were telecast on news channels”, he said.
