IAF clarifies on Air Chief Tyagi misquote

IAF's Spokesperson here Wing Commander Mahesh Upasani told UNI that Air Chief Marshal Tyagi had, in fact, been misquoted and that while inter-acting with mediapersons on the sidelines of the function he had only admitted to ''some amount of corruption'' and that ''only certain 'Armed Forces' officials were corrupt and that their number was very few''.

Wg Cdr Upasani affirmed that the Air Chief had not commented on the Indian Army or any other sister service of the Indian Armed Forces in general.

He maintained that Indian Armed Forces were institutions, which followed the highest standards of morality in their personal and professional lives.
