Austin New Year’s Day se apni zimmedariyon ka darna nahi kar sake thay, ek senior defense official ne Jumma ko kaha. Ye nahi maloom ke unhein kab chhoda jayega, is source ne kaha. Uske baare mein jo bhi masla tha, woh waziha nahi hai.

Ryder ne NBC News ko bataya ke Austin ne “Jumma raat ko apni mukammal zimmedariyan dobara shuru ki thin.” Saturday ko bhi unka hospitalization jaari tha.

Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, jo chutti par thi, ne uske zimmedariyon ka khayal rakha hai, senior defense official ne kaha.

Hicks is haftay mein jab Austin hospital mein bharti hote waqt pre-scheduled chutti par thi, ek defense official ne kaha. Usne Puerto Rico mein chuttiyan guzari hain, is official ne kaha.

Ryder ko NBC News ne puchha ke Pentagon ne Austin ki hospitalization ko kyun chhupa rakha, to usne kaha, “Yeh ek badalte hue hawale mein muziri halat the, jismein humein kai factors ko mad-e-nazar rakhte huye sonchna para.”

Ismein Austin ki shakhsiyat ki paishgoi bhi shamil hai, usne kaha.
