Chidambaram slams Army chief for remarks on anti-CAA protest


Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 28 (IANS): Former Union Minister P. Chidambaram on Saturday criticised Army chief General Bipin Rawat for his remarks on the protesters who are opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).

"Mind your own Business", was the senior Congress leader's message to the Army chief, while addressing a rally on the party Foundation Day organised by the Kerala unit of the Congress near Governor House.

He also alleged that the Army Chief and the DGP of Uttar Pradesh have been asked to support the Central government which is "a shameful act".

"Now, the Army General has been asked to speak up. Is it the job of the army chief?" said Chidambaram.

Criticising the anti-CAA protests, Rawat had said: "Leaders are not those who lead people in inappropriate directions, as we are witnessing in a large number of university and college students, the way they are leading masses of crowds to carry out arson and violence in our cities and towns."

    What a shame. The Army chief is now become propaganda machine of BJP. Our country is going down the drain. The armed forces have no business to talk to public nor make any comments about political scenario of the country. This idiot should be kicked out immediately. A Desh Dhroee

    This man should realize where he has come from... He is currently out on bail and his views do not hold credibility anymore.

    Now, the Army General is being asked to speak up. Is it the job of the Army General.
    It is not the business of the army to tell politicians what we should do, just as it is not our business to tell you how to fight a war.
    The DGP the Army General are being asked to support the government. It is a shame. Let me appeal to General Rawat. You head the Army and mind your business… what politicians will do, politicians will do.

    Let's Army general remember that India is not Pakistan, that it will control the elected democracy were citizens of India had given the mandate.

    Jai hind
