GUWAHATI: Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad, today criticised Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat over his comment on Assam-based political party AIUDF and said the armed force should maintain its non-political character.
“We take pride in the fact that our Army is non-political unlike in some of our neighbouring countries. Since India’s Independence, the Army has been a non-political outfit. It should remain like that,” Azad said at a press conference here.
The senior Congress leader said, “We have great regard for the Army — our protector. But it should not be concerned about which political party has grown or where it has got support from.” (AGENCIES)
