Our Army will never attempt a coup: Modi

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said yesterday an Army coup would never happen in India apparently referring to alleged planting of false stories that the Army under the then chief V K Singh had planned such a move in 2011-12.

"Few days ago, the nation showed its utter disgust at a story of how a top UPA minister kept pushing a narrative that our Army will attempt a coup. Every Indian knows that our Army can do no such thing, but look at the Congress attitude," Modi said addressing a public rally here.
