New Indian army chief issues warning to Pakistan on first day

Immediately after taking over, the threat hurled against Pakistan, by the new Indian army chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag, is quite understandable; considering that he is under severe inferiority complex and has to prove himself, worthy of the Indian army chief’s position.

In 2012, when the present BJP elected MP General VK Singh was the Army Chief, then Suhag was heading the Eastern Command in Dimapur, Nagaland. Singh had imposed the Discipline and Vigilance (DV) ban against Suhag for an alleged botched up military intelligence operation by a unit under him in Jorhat, Assam. General VK Singh, was also against Suhag’s appointment as the next Army Chief.

However, if this gentleman is really worth his salt, he should think and act about China, which every second month, takes over some Indian territory and establishes its own camps, rubbing the nose and prestige of the so called Indian military might, to the dust.

As far as Pakistan is concerned, it knows very well how to handle the Indians in the battlefield. Hope General DS Suhag remembers how Pakistan snatched Gilgit, Skurdu and a large chunk of Kashmir, from the clutches of the Indian army, during the early days of its inception.

One wished General DS Suhag had not proved within minutes of his promotion, his former boss General VK Singh right, who never found this son of a retired Subedaar (foot soldier), fit to head the Indian Army.

Also, never ever in the world history, the famous Peter Principle that “in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to their level of incompetence” was proved correct, by any army general, after his promotion, so soon.

And to the rest of the Indian army personnel, we can only extend our heartfelt sympathies..!

Make Your Employees Feel Powerful

Research has shown that helping employees feel more powerful can improve productivity, performance, and job satisfaction. Delegate important tasks, communicate frequently, and encourage them to share their views on important issues. You don’t have to elevate every staff member to a leadership position, but you can offer choices that lead to greater autonomy. Giving them some choice, in the way they do their work or the projects they work on, can make a big difference — no title required. People crave a sense of control over their situation. Giving it to them will help you develop your direct reports into independent thinkers who are invested in moving the organization forward.

In my opinion, the increasing incidences of thyroid disease in house hold Pakistani ladies, is due to the sadist nature coupled with highly depressing stories of TV dramas.

The PEMRA and health authorities must immediately act, to Stem this rot in our TV media, before it is too late.

My dear Ishaq Dar Sahab, I hope you know very well, how kiddish it is to even think that in the wildest of dream that those 200 billion USD, will be retained by its owners in Switzerland for 4-5 years, for you to negotiate with the Swiss authorities and then confiscate the wealth.

I will advise you that if you don’t have the will for this project, then just leave it and don’t use it as an excuse for touring many times to Switzerland, by you and your official cronies, at the national expense.

What I mean to say is that at least save the national wealth, which you plan to waste on world excursion tours, on the pretext of bringing back money from Swiss accounts.

Have mercy on this poor nation..!
