		<description><![CDATA[Asked if he would indeed resign, Singh retorted: "Please leave it to my judgement on what I want to do. It concerns me and I may decide on my action after thinking over it whenever I get the time." Soon, another question popped up: Is this your last Army Day press conference as army chief? General Singh's enigmatic reply: "I don't know."

Because in all such encounters, it is left to the civil police to investigate," Singh said when asked about the controversy involving Lieutenant General Bikram Singh, present Eastern Army Commander.

Already, the ministry has been reported to have indicated it cannot move on the procurement as the matter is sub judice.

This has held up the acquisition of crucial types of artillery again, after the multiple cancellation of tenders since the Bofors buy.]]></description>
