NEW DELHI: The Army will firmly stand with its personnel who operate and conduct bonafide counter-insurgency operations and sternly deal with cases of moral turpitude like that of Major Leetul Gogoi , General Bipin Rawat said on Tuesday.This comes in the backdrop of over 700 Army officers and soldiers filing petitions in the Supreme Court against any move to dilute the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), which is active in J&K and the northeast.While the Army chief had questioned the need for serving personnel to approach SC in their personal capacity during an informal meet in New Delhi on Saturday, he said on Tuesday he would not speak on AFSPA as the matter was sub-judice.On Saturday, Gen Rawat had said the government and the Army were already fighting cases related to AFSPA in court, which he said was a “very strong law, which provides protection to soldiers”.“The chief said he did not approve of the way serving personnel approached the court in their individual capacity,” an officer said.Turning to the case of Major Gogoi, who is set to face a court martial after being held prima facie guilty for “fraternising with a woman source against existing orders” and “leaving his unit post without permission” in May, Gen Rawat said all cases of moral turpitude and corruption would be dealt with strictly.
