New Delhi: Army Chief General VK Singh on Wednesday attended his last major function in official capacity. He was the chief guest at the National Defence Academy's passing out parade at Khadakvasla near Pune. Gen Singh retires from office on Thursday.
Speaking on the occasion while addressing the cadets, Gen Singh said, "You should lead by the respect of the people you command. A correct mix of moral and ethical values is needed. Never let personal gains override your professional duty and responsibility. It's the harder right than the easier wrong that you have to pursue. Today when India is surging high, there are exciting times ahead. You will lead the future."
Earlier, in an interview to CNN-IBN, Gen Singh said that the Indian Army is in a much better state now than when he took over as Chief of Army Staff (COAS) 21 months back. He said that the army is much more transparent, confident now and has addressed issued which were never discussed before.
He said that he decided to withdraw his petition on the age row when he realised that he was up against the entire system.
