Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:Accountability minus authority': Ex-Navy Chief's explosive disclosures In an exclusive interview, former Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral DK Joshi tells NDTV that the armed forces have been saddled with a dysfunctional and an inefficient model. Admiral Joshi, who resigned after a submarine mishap, says for him "being a chief was not just about preening on national TV on Republic Day parades when in actual fact, you are unable to get a set of batteries for your submarines." In this scathing interview to NDTV's Nitin Gokhale, Admiral Joshi says those who wield authority have no accountability and vested interests have stalled reforms in higher defence management.Babudom: Armed forces' enemy within?After former Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Joshi says that the armed forces have been saddled with a dysfunctional model and that those who wield authority have no accountability, we debate: can Defence Minister Arun Jaitley rehaul what the former Navy Chief calls a "dysfunctional mode"? Can the minister make a big break from AK Antony's legacy? Also is babudom the armed forces' enemy within?'Did what my parents stood for': 26/11 martyr's daughter on organ donationJui Navare, daughter of 26/11 martyr Hemant and Kavita Karkare, speaks to NDTV on why the family decided to donate her mother's organs to give a new lease of life to three families. She is our newsmaker on The Buck Stops Here.
