Armed forces in India are apolitical: Defence Ministry
Replying to a question in Lok Sabha on attempts to politicise the armed forces, MoS for Defence Subhash Bhamre said the forces are apolitical. This comes weeks after a controversy over Army chief Bipin Rawat's remarks on a political party. Rawat had said the All India United Democratic Front was growing faster than the BJP due to support from Muslims.
