The Union Minister also slammed All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi for targeting Army Chief General Bipin Rawat over his yesterday's remarks on CAA protests and said, "Protest and anarchy should not be mixed. He has his own understanding of the issue."

 

Army Chief Bipin Rawat came under criticism from the opposition for his statement that leaders should not lead masses including students to commit arson and violence. The Army Chief made the remarks addressing an event in the national capital on Thursday.

The opposition alleged that the comments were political in nature and the Army Chief should desist from indulging in politics.
