Thread by @MajChowdhury

Veterans write to the Supreme Commmander of The Armed Forces complaining about the blatant politicisation.

The loyalty of the Armed Forces of India towards the country is beyond doubt.
For India!
Not @BJP4India or @narendramodi
Not even Election Commission, not random...

2/2
...politicians who choose to appropriate our dignity when it suits them, while stripping us of dignity by policy.

It is time to make our view clear. We are citizens of India. We are Armed Forces of India. We are #NotYourPoliticalFlunkie

"In an unprecedented election-eve letter of the kind India has never seen before in the 07 decades since independence, over 150 armed forces veterans have written to the President & C in C..."

We promise to defend our integrity and that of India.

Two controversies.
First. @rashtrapatibhvn denying receipt of our email.
Please see screenshot below
Ask them the questions. @gauravcsawant @mitalisaran @SankarshanT @ndtv @mkvenu1 @SushantSin @sudhiranjansen @ajaynewsman @ShivAroor

Second controversy.
Gen Rodrigues & ACM Suri denying that they endorsed the letter to The President.
Suffice to say, we have proof of their endorsements.

A question to the media. Not long back many of you participated in a fake Nationalism narrative spread by @BJP4India & ...

...their obnoxious trolls about 'Anybody who questions Armed Forces is an anti-national'.
How is it any different now?
Just because it doesn't suit political objectives, you are free to abuse citizens?Be that as it may,we stand firm in protecting our integrity. Watch this space

For those clamouring for proof. Question you must. And answer we will

Here it is!

It has come to light that certain Media houses have behaved unethically in twisting statements of senior veteran officers and misquoting them. We will be sharing details with the media soon about this disgusting behaviour.
