Reacting to Army chief’s statement that Maulana Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF (All India United Democratic Front) in Assam has grown faster than the BJP, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that the General should not interfere in politics and it’s not his work to comment over the rise of a political party.
What,the Army Chief should not interfere in political matters it is not his work to comment on the rise of a political party ,Democracy & Constitution allows it and Army will always work under an Elected Civilian leadership https://t.co/PacWqqYXz1

Maulana Badruddin Ajmal also expressed shock and asked why an Army General is concerned about a political party.
Gen Bipin Rawat has made a political statement, shocking! Why is it a concern for the Army Chief that a political party, based on democratic & secular values, is rising faster than BJP? Alternative parties like AIUDF, AAP have grown because of the misgovernance of big parties.

Rawat had said, “He added, “I think the government is looking at the Northeast with correct perspective…With development will come control of the people residing in this area. I don’t think now you can change the population dynamics of this region… there is a party called AIUDF. It has grown at a faster rate than the BJP has over the years… AIUDF is moving at a faster pace in the state of Assam.”ALSO READ: Our ‘western and northern’ neighbours pushing illegal Bangladeshis into India: Army Chief
