Why is there even an entity named an “arms dealer”? Liaising with high government offices for high value contracts should be done DIRECTLY by very senior managers of prospective suppliers. I remember, one of the top most Indian infrastructure company used to have an officer of the rank of VICE PRESIDENT in that company permanently stationed in Delhi, just for that purpose — to liaise with the government at the highest level.
Now we have these so called “arms dealers”, young, and apparently of no operational experience about arms, even looking dubious to me by their very looks, moving around in secret corridors of government, negotiating deals worth thousands of crores!!! Who are these shady characters, what is there need, and why are they EVEN ALLOWED to contact anyone in the defense ministry?
The blame SQUARELY lies with ALL GOVERNMENTS of present and past. If they are going to pay out thousands of crores, why can’t they make it mandatory for all suppliers who want to participate in the purchase to spend a few thousand rupees on air tickets and hotel accommodation and send out THEIR OWN SENIOR MANAGER for every meeting.
For example now this Mr Sanjay Bhandari…who is he, what is his qualification, what is his work experience, why is he even entering the top secret government premises… is he running a canteen there? If not, then can he at least demonstrate how a cannon is loaded on a gun? Or even how a 303 rifle is cleaned? …. I mean, with due respect to him as a stranger, WHY is he even allowed inside? These are very relevant questions.
All Indians must follow their own proverbs. Thief’s looted but the Dog’s started barking after six months. Indian government is sleeping all these months and years?
