Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Condemning General Bipin Rawat's Unconstitutional Outburst
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has unequivocally
condemned the statement made by the Army Chief, Gen. Bipin Rawat. The
General has directly indulged in condemning the student protestors who have
been opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act and the move towards creating
the National Register for Citizens across the country.  
 
Army Chief's statement underlines as to how the situation has degenerated
under the Modi government where the highest officer in uniform can so
brazenly breach the limits of his institutional role.  It is, therefore,
necessary to raise the question as to whether we are going the Pakistan way
of politicizing the military.  Such obnoxious interference in matters of
democratic struggles from top ranking military professionals is unheard of
in the history of independent India.  
 
The Polit Bureau urges that the General apologises to the nation for his
indiscretion which has extremely adverse ramifications for the
Constitutional arrangement in the country.  We also demand that the
government takes note of such a breach and censures the General.
 
The Polit Bureau also expects all patriots in the country, who holds the
Constitution of India in the highest esteem, raise their collective voice of
protest over this brazen politicization of the army's role.
