Army officer in trouble for praising Narendra Modi:Where's right to speak ?

[KS]

What Manekshaw did to Indira was small compared to Mr. vajpayee when he called Indira as Maa Durga.

How is this relevant ?

Exactly , How is this relevant ? Are we not talking about Army men praising Politicians ? No ?

So you think, Modi is such a messiah that Army need to lick his boot to get fund, which other wisely is their right to get.

Lol praising a man for the work he has done and requesting additional help become boot-licking. Surely these Congis are paranoid of Modi bigtime.

It is relevant. When Manekshaw praised her, that was out of the backing she provided to him while he was planning and executing the defeat of Pakistan. So he was right then to appreciate the PM given the war situation at that time. So, when somebody tried to compare his praise for Indira to the praise for Modi, then definitely that was irrelevant. My premise is based on that irrelevant comparison.

Don't make statements without reading in which context I replied. definitely Modi is a problem for Congress; In Gujurat.

By the way, you people are good at using joker language for a particular party.

i believe the officer should not have opened his mouth regarding any political party . the army has been neutral and hence we do not have a lot of troubles like our neighbors.
If the army starts becoming political it will only harm its image.

Look man, that GOC is responcible for only his area not the whole country. He did what was needed to be done. It was a smart move. Not to mention whatever he said was true.

 

[Moorkh]

Since he is an officer in the army which is supposed to be apolitical, such statements can not be promoted.

He should keep his personal opinion to himself and not make such statements specially when present in an official capacity.

When Sam Manikshaw level officer can give his opinion on public forum why not that GOC. Both actually said right about both the person.

I just want to say this, that how can you guys justify a right to speak. People talk smack about anything what they want but our armed forces personnel are not allowed to say anything ?? Our media speaks alot about right to speak but what about ou armed forces ?/ He is not saying they should make modi a major or something. That guy visited to Siachen to meet our forces, just tell me how many politicians have done that, even the politicians from J&K have not payed their homage at Siachen.

Well nothing happened when Naval Chief Suresh Mehta praised the Haryana CM & then asked for land for himself; the media didn't go bonkers over it then. He is now Indian high commissioner to New Zealand. Then why does praising Modi (rated as India's best CM) attract so much attention.

 

[misterme2]

Freedom to express your thoughts is a part of Democracy. ...So why shouldn't this major express his views. Obviously, he is pitching for Modi and Sonia and Gang does not approve. But can you really blame him? Im not Hindu and I don't live in India but I know damn well that he is the man to make India #1 in all spheres. Don't kid yourself. This guy is a politician that we have never before in India. He knows how to bring assets together to formulate a plan and he gets the job done.



Our armed forces can vote and they a right to an opinion. Hell they risk their lives everyday for it. So it doesn;t matter what we think, but this major is entitled to his opinion which to me is fairly accurate. Congress is great because of only 2-3 men....MMS and Anthony.....also Chihbaram isn't bad either.

 

[alphamale]

why such hue & cry over army officer's praising of modi, he was praising modi for his work in Gujarat not for 2002 riots. mentioning modi now has become crime or what?

 

[gulte]

His statement is apolitical in the sense he didn't praised a particular party, he praised the CM of a state for his efficiency which in this case NM.

 

[third eye]

The General in my opinion violated the first principle of not discussing politics & women while in uniform.

Yeah but there comes a point when the military cannot sit and watch India move slowly. Sometimes, real men need to step in and speak their mind.

And in your hurry to defend the CONgress you probably forgot even the Former CONS, Admiral Suresh Mehta congratulated Mr.Bhupinder Singh Hooda on his poll victory while reuqesting him for an out-of-turn plot allocation. And no body took panga with the Admiral that time.

Oh! I forgot this is Modi, the media's favourite boogeyman.

lol I know Congis dont need a context for Modi paranoia.

I would rather have an India which moves slowly than one where the military intervenes . give me one example where they caused a positive spin to a democratic way of life?
in our neighborhood there have been many countries ruled by the military and the world sees them as unstable and despots regimes.
so once again i am in favor of the armed forces staying professional fighting forces and not indulging in politics.

Exactly. We live in a neighborhood where armies have a big stake in governance, and decision making. We dont want that to happen here.
Issue is not to do with modi, more to do with army being apolitical.
