Defence Minister AK Antony on Tuesday said corruption was a serious challenge which badly affected the morale of defence personnel and urged them to renew their pledge to work with honesty, fairness and transparency.
In his customary address to the armed forces on the eve of Independence Day, Antony cautioned them against human rights violations in the fight against terrorism, saying it tarnished the image of the forces.
Raising the issue of graft in the initial part of his address, Antony said corruption affected the morale of the personnel.
“Corruption is today a serious challenge facing our nation – and our armed forces are no exception to the rule. Corruption not only badly affects the morale of the personnel, but also has many other implications. I appeal to each one of you to renew the pledge to work with all the honesty, fairness and transparency at your command in your day-to-day work,” Antony said.

These days many including the army personnel are talking of corrupt netas & baboos. But it is proved now that the army Generals, brigadiers & colonels, including those in MES, ASC Etc. are the most corrupt where it is a regular & common practice. The recent news items are full of such stories.
Yes Saint Antoni is right. And he is part and parcel of that corruption. Or else he would not hesitate a moment to submit to the PAC that all the profits accrued from all types of URCs( selling CSD goods, Non-CSD goods, selling beauty products) or being mis-used for Golf, private clubs, Restaurants,Nurseries, schools, colleges be rolled back to the consolidated funds of India and not to be called NON-PUBLIC FUNDs as he himself has stated in the floor of the house. Welfare of the armed forces personnel is the onerous responsibility of the govt at the centre and not of some private entity.
Once he does that we will believe him or else it is only matter of time we catches up with his hypocracy and put him inside ……
Corruption badly affects to all in everywhere BABUBS BABAA CORRUPT NETA & CORPORATE NEXUS HAVE RUINED OUR NATION
