General VK Singh in a series of tweets on Wednesday hit back at Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who had in his speech during the debate on intolerance raised the ‘dog’ remark of the Union Minister. “Intriguing that Rahul Gandhi questions my absence from the Parliament, wonder how someone who vanished for 57 days earlier this year.
And has one of the poorest track records when it comes to attending the parliament (43 per cent in 2013), does so with a straight face. He deserves no justification from me about my commitment, love and respect this great nation. He talks about my intention to participate in divisive politics, but forgets that I served the army of our great nation for 42 years. He forgets that my men & I put our lives on the line to protect this very socio-economic & cultural fabric of our nation,” Singh tweeted.
