Today, a top Army Officer clarified the Indian Army does not believe in communalizing martyrs. This comes in response to Hyderabad Parliamentarian, Asaduddin Owaisi’s comments about the Muslim soldiers who lost their lives.
General Officer Commanding in Chief Northern Command Lieutenant General Devraj Anbu said, “We take on the religion of our troops. We do not communalize any of them. It’s only for those who do not know the functioning of the army too well. They need to see that we put everything aside and live together.”
The All India Majlis e Ittehad ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief made a statement against those questioning the patriotism of Muslims. He was quoted saying, “In this incident, five Kashmiri Muslims have laid down their lives. Why aren’t you talking about it? This is a reminder to all those nationalists who question my integrity and the love for this country.” The Chief Officer however did not mention Owaisi’s name but it was understood.
On Saturday morning, the Jaish e Mohammed terrorists attacked the Sunjwan army camp in Jammu and Kashmir. The attack began at around 5 A.M., as three to four terrorists attacked the JCO family quarters. A total of seven people lost their lives in this attack.
