Army denies preparing, circulating "note" against bureaucrats.

.
Strongly denying any differences with the government over the pay commission report, the Army on Tuesday said it "neither prepared nor circulated" a document that cast aspersions on bureaucrats alleging they discriminated against the armed forces by misleading the political leaders.

It also said the government and the three services were working together towards resolving all outstanding issues over the 6th Central Pay Commission and the high-level committee, headed by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, was already looking into their grievances.

"The army has neither prepared nor circulated any document or note containing allegations or casting aspersions on government officials," it said, reacting to a news report on a television channel aired this afternoon.

Clarifying that there was "no truth whatsoever" in the allegations, it said, "The army headquarters has investigated the claims (of the report) and has found that no such document was ever prepared or circulated by it".

Vehemently denying differences with the government, the Army said its views on the pay commission have been well articulated by its chief, General Deepak Kapoor, time and again.

"There are no differences amongst the army, the other two services and the government on the issue, all of whom are working together towards resolving the outstanding matter soon. The issue is already before the nominated group of ministers for its consideration," it added.
