EX-ARMYMAN CRITICISES RAHUL'S REMARK



Shekatkar told India Today that it was very unfortunate that some people were getting politics into army operations. "Vice-President of a particular party accusing the Prime Minister of using soldiers for political gains- he is institutionalizing, he is humiliating, he is abusing the Prime Minister's institution. One should not play with national interest for narrow political gains," he said.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy also criticised Rahul Gandhi for attacking the Prime Minister.
