Panaji (Goa), Apr 12 (ANI): Several senior armed forces veteran on Friday denied writing a letter to President Ram Nath Kovind over alleged politicisation of the services with former Army chief General Sunith Francis Rodrigues calling it ‘a classic manifestation of fake news’. While speaking exclusively to ANI, General Rodrigues said, “We in the services have always done what the Government in power ordered us, we are an instrument of the state. We are apolitical. Anyone can say anything and then sell it as fake news, I don't know who this gentleman is who wrote this.”
