Following General V.K. Singh's accusation Army Chief designate, Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag of supporting dacoity, Defence Minister Arun Jaitely said that his appointment as the next chief of army staff is final and he added that Lt. Gen. Suhag's appointment should be kept out of the political realm. Reacting to this, Rajya Sabha MP from Janata Dal United (JDU), K.C. Tyagi accused Singh of trying to block Suhag's appointment.

Meanwhile BJP leader, Subramanian Swamy said that Suhag's appointment should be reviewed and he agreed with General Singh that the appointment of General Suhag should be reconsidered.
