The Ministry of Defence (MoD) had slammed the Chairman and Managing Director of government-run BEML VRS Natarajan for threatening to sue the former Army Chief, General (retired) VK Singh.

The MoD categorically denied giving permission to Natarajan to serve a legal notice for filing a defamation suit on the former Army Chief, said a statement issued by Ministry spokesperson Sitanshu Kar last week. The Ministry had asked Natarajan to explain as to why he made such a statement to the media.

Natarajan while addressing a press conference on June 1 alleged that retired Army chief General VK Singh's remarks against Tatra trucks were damaging and defamatory. Natarajan says that no letter has been received that alleged that the trucks are sub-standard. Natarajan has issued a defamatory notice against Singh. Natarajan said that the statements made by Retd General Singh are demeaning of his stature.
