At a time when India is facing serious problems all around its borders,India's external intelligence agency RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) is facing turmoil because of the selfishness of its officials.
One would have hoped that at a time when there are reports of incursions in the Ladakh area of Jammu and Kashmir and various other incursions and aggressive intimidation from china on one side,danger from pak terrorists and pak on the other side and with Maoists stoking anti-India sentiments in Nepal,the least the officials of RAW should have done for the Country is to atleast tone down their public protest over some petty personal gains.
If their concerns were genuine,they should have taken it up with higher-ups in a more discreet manner.
Seven high ranking RAW officials have gone on a mass protest leave, after an IPS officer superseded them.
The mass leave is to protest the promotion of IPS officer Avdesh Mathur as special secretary. The seven officers are from the Research and Analysis Service (RAS). There is constant tension between RAS and IPS officers in RAW. The present RAW chief is also from IPS. RAS cadres fear that the next chief will also be from IPS.
This is a shameful episode both for the Agency and for the Government.This is a disaster for our Country.At a time when India needs intelligence inputs from RAW, the most, for the security and well being of the Nation,a public dirty fight over 'PROMOTIONS' is most worrisome.
RAW officials and the Government should also seriously think of the impact of this protest on the credibility and effectiveness of RAW.We keep making ourselves a joker infront of the world.
These things will continue to occur in future as well,if we don't keep National interest above personal interests..!
