Frankly, the Tatra controversy
that erupted without enough proof , has been a classic case of shooting
one’s mouth off.
“Tatra Trucks being
utilized in the Indian Army conform to the requisite qualitative requirements.
BEML has so far supplied around 6500 Tatra Trucks of various models amounting
to 3660 crores (approximately) to
Ministry of Defense and other Defense Public Sector Undertakings,” Minister
Pallam Raju confirmed in parliament today.
Even if the trucks did not
conform to the requirements, can you blame the OEM or the government
authorities who signed on the contract? To ground the company’s helicopters that were being used for special services
without proof and no association with the trucks, one feels, is unacceptable.
A case of using ‘security
concerns’ as a blanket cover, gone wrong?
