Its time to stop chasing the former Air Chief for something he hasnt done – something that the Italian Supreme court has said he’s not done. Any senior officer in the Armed Forces will testify that it is not possible for any officer, no matter how high up so subvent the system of checks and balances that happen in such procurements. ACM Tyagi did not even attend a meeting in relation to this deal but seems to have magically influenced the IAF, MoD, SPG, PMO and others to push Agustwa Westland without a single conversation – he must have magical powers.Time to stop playing politics with the Fauj and restore this fauji’s honour.
Now that the Italian Supreme Court has given a judgement that no corruption took place in this case, we must exonerate ACM Tyagi and return his honour. It is a travesty to suspect that every judge in the Italian lower, higher and Supreme Court is sold out and has been bribed by the Gandhi’s.

Give him back his Izzat and stop this witchhunt against him.
