It is very disheartening to know that the defence forces are slowly but surely being politicised during the electioneering days . This can have serious repercussions. We won the 1971 war because our army was highly disciplined and motivated. We pushed back the Pakistanis from Kargil in 1999 because our young and dynamic officers led from the front. Talking of politics in army is a taboo. The day politics, sycophancy and self enters , Indian army will not be the finest in the world. So here is a warning to all politicians: please keep politics away from this organisation, the pillar of our nation. Please respect and value the soldiers and do not use them as tools in politics.
