Rajputs come out in support of Army chief V K Singh

The Akhil Bhartiya Rajput Sabha, a body representative of the Rajput community, which general Singh belongs to, held a meeting in Charkhi Dadri in Bhiwani district on Sunday.

The executive body adopted a resolution at the meeting saying that if the Union government does not give extension to General Singh in keeping with his age as mentioned in the matriculation certificate by February 29, they would hold a dharna at Jantar Mantar on March 2.

Thakur Atar Lal, state president of the Sabha alleged that the Central government was doing an injustice to General Singh by not recognizing his date of birth as mentioned in his matriculation certificate, which is a valid document to authenticate one's.

"The people of Haryana comprising farmers, Rajputs, Dalits and other communities would march towards Delhi to hold a dharna if the issue is not settled in favour of the Army chief by February end," he stated.
