Defence Minister A K Antony was summoned last week to meet President Pratibha Patil. Antony rushed to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, assuming that Patil wanted to discuss important defence issues. Actually, the President had simply called him to demand that her deputy military secretary should be replaced immediately. But this may be easier said than done. The Air Force Chief is reluctant to shift out the secretary since his tenure is for five years and there is nothing in his confidential records to merit his removal. Even the minister is not sure why the aide has incurred the President’s ire.
This happens when you don't have cultured people at high posts. Time and again Oratibha Patil has shown tha she is unfit being a president.
