Defence minister A.K. Antony said on Wednesday that all those holding key positions in India in various fields including politicians are “still not ready” for the transition in the “transparency revolution” that the country is currently experiencing. He said this was the reason why there were “problems in this transition period”, but added that this
too is a phase of Indian democracy.
Mr Antony said, “There is transition now, transition to this transparency revolution. India is not ready. Indian politicians, bureaucrats, armed forces, all those holding key positions... are still not ready for this transition. That is why there are now some problems in this transition period. But it is also another phase of Indian democracy. After a few years, this will settle but the transition will go on.” He said the “walls of secrecy were crumbling in every field”, adding this “trend” cannot be stopped midway.
