Media attack on me at behest of arms lobby, have briefed PM: VK Singh - Times of India

NEW DELHI: Union minister VK Singh on Sunday claimed that the media attack on him was at the behest of arms lobby.

"It is only an insidious campaign in which the arms lobby is working overtime. They were not able to subdue me when I was the Army chief. They have carried on," VK Singh said and accused a former senior Army official of being a part of the conspiracy.

"I won't go beyond saying as to what relationships he enjoys with various chaps. There are a lot of people who were paid by him. So, obviously, you have some journalists and others who will write what they are told," he said.

"I have briefed PM Narendra Modi on the orchestrated campaign against me," he said.

Asked if the arms lobby was still active against him, he said that it was very much so.

"They did a lot to dole out resources when the elections took place. We know how much money was received by various people. They are active. They are very active. Their sole aim is to how to get me out," he said.

VK Singh had triggered a row by describing the media 'presstitutes'.

The remark was made in a tweet, which was followed a press briefing in Djibouti in which the former Army chief raised eyebrows for saying that visiting the Pakistani high commission was more exciting than conducting rescue operations in Yemen.

On Saturday, VK Singh apologized to journalists barring a small section of mediapersons who he said were carrying out a "motivated campaign" against him.

"I apologize if the 90 per cent felt bad. I used the word for the 10 per cent and they deserve that word," VK Singh said, claiming that there have been worst terms used by others for this 10 per cent media including "bazaaru" and "paid".
