Asaduddin Owaisi takes on Army chief General Bipin Rawat over remark

All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday shot back at Army General Bipin Rawat for ‘interfering in political matters’. During a seminar, General Bipin Rawat had underlined that ‘population dynamics’ of the north-east region can no longer be changed. The Army Chief referred to the ‘faster pace’ growth of All-India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in Assam. “There is a party called AIUDF. If you look at them, 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,” Rawat said. Asaduddin wondered why the Army Chief should interfere in political matters.

“The Army Chief should not interfere in political matters . It is not his work to comment on the rise of a political party. Democracy and Constitution allows it and Army will always work under an elected civilian leadership,” Asaduddin tweeted.
