New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday attacked the Modi government over reported shortage of officers at the Major and Captain levels in the Army, saying it has all the time to break political parties but no time to fill important vacancies in the armed forces.
Taking to Twitter, Kharge shared a media report which claimed that the Army is facing an acute shortage of officers at the Major and Captain levels and is planning to reduce the posting of staff officers at various headquarters to overcome the shortage in units. The Army is also considering the appointment of re-employed officers to such posts, according to the report.
“Modi Govt has all the time to break political parties, but it has NO time to fill in important vacancies in the Armed Forces. Those who trumpet ‘Nationalism’ on a daily basis have betrayed our Armed Forces like no other,” Kharge said in a tweet.
