Gen V K Singh replies to J&K speaker's notice

The notice by the Assembly Speaker was issued in response to a privilege motion moved against him by 15 ministers and MLAs, including those of National Conference. 


Gen Singh had made the allegation while commenting on a report in an English daily, which had claimed that Technical Services Division, an intelligence unit of the Army created during his tenure, had paid Rs 1.19 crore to state minister Ghulam Hassan Mir allegedly to destabilise the Omar Abdullah government in 2010.

While Mir denied any wrong doing, the Chief Minister wrote a letter on September 25 to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh seeking a credible probe into the allegation for restoring faith of people in mainstream politicians in the state.
