Why The Armed Forces Need To Be Reformed, Not Politicised

The Indian military is today at the centrestage of national politics for more reasons than one. On one hand, the military is being lauded for the professionally executed surgical strikes across the Line of Control which took place on September 29. On the other, there is simmering discontent in the military and its large veterans’ community with regard to status, pay, pensions and allowances. The irony of the situation is hard to miss. A military put on the nationalism pedestal and eulogised as never before, is unhappy about its remunerations and status! Most importantly and disturbingly, both aspects are being exploited by political parties for politics. Post-surgical strikes, we saw bizarre political posters coming up in Uttar Pradesh allegedly by the ruling party at the Centre. The Opposition struck back by asking for proof of surgical strikes albeit to counter Pakistan’s denial, only to be branded as “anti-national”. Comical allegations and counter-allegations dominated the media for one month.
