New Delhi: The Indian Army on Wednesday hit back at activist Tapan Bose’s statement that ‘Pakistan Army and Indian Army are alike’.
Indian Army officials said, ” We uphold the ideals of the Constitution, thwart proxy wars, defeat internal threats, assist our government and the people of India, and all our actions are dedicated to the nation. Indian Army doesn’t discriminate on the basis of caste, creed or religion.”
“Indian Army strengthens the idea of India and lives by the national values. Army is dedicated to preserve national interests, safeguard sovereignty, territorial integrity and the unity of our nation,” the officials said.
On Wednesday, filmmaker and activist Tapan Bose generated controversy while addressing a gathering during Anti-CAA protest at Jantar Mantar. He said, “Pakistan is not an enemy country. The ruling class of India and that of Pakistan are alike. Our armies are alike too. Their army kills their people and our army kills ours. There is no difference between them.”
