Row over Army Chief’s ‘Political commentary’ on NE Muslims

AMN / New Delhi

army-chief-bipin-rawatThe comments of Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat at a conference on Wednesday has triggered a big row with several quarters raised question over the army chief remarks and its timing.

Crtics said that the latest statement of Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat on political journey of political parties in north east at a function held at DRDO Bhawan on 21 February 2018 and that too at a time when two NE States, namely Nagaland and Meghalaya are going to polls in next few days is highly alarming and unjustified.

Speaking about India’s Northeast in a conference at DRDO Bhavan in Delhi, General Rawat said that Pakistan, with the support of China, is playing a proxy war in India’s Northeast and the influx of people in the region from Bangladesh is “planned.” Army chief said that the “planned immigration” is taking place in Northeast because of Pakistan.

Reacting to Indian Army chief Bipin Rawat’s comments on his party’s growth, AIUDF president Badruddin Ajmal said on Thursday that it was “shocking” for an army chief to indulge in politics. The AIUDF leader also asserted that his party’s growth was due to misconduct of the mainstream political parties. AIUDF official account shared Ajmal’s post on Facebook which read, “General Bipin Rawat has made a political statement, shocking! Why is it a concern for the Army Chief that a political party, based on democratic and secular values, is rising faster than BJP?” the post read. “Alternative parties like AIUDF, AAP have grown because of the misgovernance of big parties.

By making such statement, isn’t the Chief of Army Staff indulging into politics which is against the constitutional mandate given to him?”Rawat’s comments were met by strong opposition by some, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who criticised Rawat saying it was not his work to comment on the rise of a political party. Owaisi also added that “democracy and Constitution” allow different political parties to grow and “Army will always work under an Elected Civilian leadership.

” Unfortunately Gen. Bipin Rawat has unnecessarily linked the issue of illegal immigrants with the comparative analysis of the success of political parties namely AIUDF and BJP in the state of Assam. His comments are nothing but negative commentary on the rights given by the constitution to float and to ally with any political party to the citizens” said All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat in a statement.

At a time when the ruling party is working to communalise the issue of influx of illegal immigrants by categorising them on religious lines, the army chief comments need urgent disapproval.

It is for the government and particularly the defence minister to take note of the statement of the Gen. Bipin Rawat and clarify whether the BJP Government approves the political commentary of the army chief.

All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat consider the statement of Gen. Bipin Rawat as the most unfortunate one and sees it as a beginning of the dangerous trend to politicalise the institution of army which is revered by all, irrespective of political ideology and affiliation.

Nothing political in General Rawat’s comment,

There is nothing political or religious in the talk. Army Chief just mentioned amalgamation & development in the seminar on North-East organised at DRDO Bhawan on 21 Feb 18: Army

“There is nothing political or religious in the talk. Army Chief just mentioned amalgamation and development in the seminar on North-East organised at DRDO Bhawan on 21 Feb 18,” news agency ANI quoted the Indian Army as saying today morning.

Maulana Badruddin Ajmal’s AIUDF grew faster than BJP: Army Chief
According to Indian Express, Underlining that the “population dynamics” of the North-East region can no longer be changed, Army chief General Bipin Rawat Wednesday referred to the “faster pace” of growth of Maulana Badruddin Ajmal’s All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in Assam.Speaking at a seminar on ‘North East Region of India — Bridging Gaps and Securing Borders’, organised by the Centre for Joint Warfare Studies and Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff of the Ministry of Defence, General Rawat said, “I don’t think you can now change the population dynamics of this area.

If it was 5 districts to 8 to 9… the inversion has taken place, whichever be the government.”“There is a party called AIUDF, if you look at… they have grown in a faster time-frame than 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,” he said.“I think we have to understand, we got to appreciate to live with all the people we live in the region, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion or sex. I think if we understand that, we can live together happily but the best part is to amalgamate the kind of people that are living there, than identifying the people trying to create trouble for us,” he said.“We will have more trouble in segregating people, identifying people.

Yes, some people have to be identified who are creating trouble for us, who are illegal immigrants. But as was brought out, the Muslim population actually started coming into Assam from 1218 to 1226, that was the first time that the Muslims actually entered Assam. We have to understand that they are not late arrivers, they are the early arrivers, came concurrently with the Ahoms. Both these people have claim to the state of Assam and, therefore, to the North-East region.”“Migration from Bangladesh is due to two reasons. One is they are running out of space. Large areas get flooded during the monsoon and they have constricted area to stay.
