New Delhi: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has attacked Army
Chief General Bipin Rawat for supporting Major Leetul Gogoi, who had
used a stone-pelter as a human shield in Kashmir.
An editorial in party mouthpiece People's Democracy also accused the Army Chief of “reflecting” the views of Modi government “which seeks to suppress the people of Kashmir.” Prakash Karat, CPI(M) Polit Bureau member is the editor of the newspaper.
The way Farooq Ahmad Dar, who had gone to vote in the Srinagar by-poll, was caught and tied to a jeep as a deterrent to stone pelters was a shocking incident. The army chief of staff, by commending this act, has let down the high professional standards of the army. Some former serving generals of the army have decried the use of the civilian as a human shield. They have correctly pointed out that the army cannot treat its own people in such a manner.
Gen. Rawat makes no distinction between young protestors throwing stones and armed militants. He had, on an earlier occasion, warned that the army would treat all those who do not support army operations or obstruct them during encounters as “overground workers of terrorists”. To taunt protestors to take up arms, so that the army could deal with them appropriately is a needless provocation and displays an attitude which is unbecoming of a senior army officer.
