Commenting on political matters like rise of Maulana Ajmal’s AIUDF none of Army Vhief’s business: Owaisi

New Delhi: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday criticised General Bipin Rawat for talking about the rise of Maulana Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF (All India United Democratic Front) in Assam, saying the Army chief should not interfere in political matters as it is not his work to comment on the rise of a political party.
“What the Army Chief should not interfere in political matters it is not his work to comment on the rise of a political party ,Democracy & Constitution allows it and Army will always work under an Elected Civilian leadership,” Owaisi wrote on his Twitter handle.
Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat had commented over the AIUF’s rise in the Assam.
“There is a party called AIUDF, if you look at… they have grown in a faster time-frame than the BJP has grown over the years. When we talk of Jan Sangh with two Members of Parliament and where they have reached, AIUDF is moving at a faster pace in the state of Assam. Finally, what will be the state of Assam, we will have to take a call,” the report published in The Indian Express had quoted Rawat’s speech in a seminar.
