Defensive deal
Jaspal Bhatti

Bala asks Pala, “Yaar, don’t you think somebody asking Army Chief to accept Rs 14 crore as bribe is disgraceful?” Pala said, “Yes, indeed it is disgraceful. When coal scandal worth Rs 10.7 lakh crore and 2G scam of Rs 1.76 crore are doing the rounds, offering a mere 14 crore the Army Chief, one of the most powerful military officer is shameful.” 

Bala said, “Oye, Paley, why didn’t the Army Chief, Gen VK Singh, get the officer, who had offered him Rs 14 crore, arrested?” Pala said, “The General might have given him the chance to revise his offer.” Bala said, “Do not doubt the integrity of the General. He had immediately informed the Defence Minister AK Antony.” Pala said, “You mean, the General, like a little kid, might have complained to the minister, ‘Dekho uncle, mujehy rishwat deta hai.’”

Bala said, “You know, Paley the CBI has received an audiotape of a conversation between Gen VK Singh and another person allegedly involved in the bribery case.” Pala said, “This is a dangerous thing. If the Army Chief’s conversation could be taped and leaked, how can we count on the safety and security of our nation?”

The government asked its secret agency to access the military might of its neighbouring countries. The secret agency reported, “We are the mightiest. We have the lowest bribery rates in defence deals.”
