NEW DELHI: Amid speculation that Gen V K Singh may resign after losing his battle on the age issue, defence minister A K Antony on Monday said he has "full faith" in Army chief and asked his colleagues to "bury" the "unfortunate controversy".The minister expressed happiness over the end of the controversy on the issue after the developments in the Supreme Court where Gen Singh withdrew his petition last week.
"The government has confidence in the present chief and that was conveyed in the Supreme Court also. Everything is clear and we have confidence in him," Antony told reporters when asked if Gen Singh has offered to resign after the apex court verdict.
After the Army chief withdrew his petition, there has been intense media speculation that he could quit. His term gets over on May 31 and a number of names have been doing rounds as to who would succeed him.
