| Indian army has great record for respecting human values: Prof Gupta | | | Jammu, Mar 9: Strongly objecting to the public controversy over the presence of the army and revoking of their powers, former Union Minister and MLA, Prof. Chaman Lal Gupta has turned it a political motivated boggy to malign the forces. In a statement Prof Gupta said that nowhere in the country even in the North East such controversy is being raised “but for by the certain politicians of Kashmir Valley in a bid to woo the separatist sentiments.” “This is causing a great harm to the national interests and providing a handle to the forces hostile to the country to tarnish the image of India,” he claimed.
“It is not the army but the government is to see where the forces are to be deployed or not. The army in the Valley or elsewhere is not there on their own. It was strange that even the men in the government sharing power both in the State as also at the Centre have joined in the upmanship to question the presence as also the powers of the army in J&K, which of course is an integral part of the country,” Prof Gupta added. He said there are set of rules and regulations if any man in khaki commits a mistake can be dealt under law “but in a complex situation created in the Valley the things are being made difficult for the forces. This is unfortunate.”
The former minister also pointed out that the Indian army has a great record world over for respecting human values. “However, in Jammu and Kashmir, where they have made tremendous sacrifices to defeat the aggressions and other hostilities, there cannot be bigger ingratitude than to raise a finger against the forces defending the frontiers of the country and providing security to the people against terror,” he said. Prof Gupta said it would be proper for the Centre as also the ruling leaders of the State to sort out their difference within themselves instead of indulging in public controversies on sensitive issues linked with the forces defending the borders and combating a proxy war launched by Pakistan to grab Kashmir by hook or crook.
