Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of attempting to create anarchy by demanding reservations in the Indian Armed Forces, asserting that the military should remain above caste politics. Speaking at a rally in Bihar, Singh emphasized that the Indian Army’s sole allegiance is to “Sainya Dharma,” and warned against politicizing the military, which has historically ensured national pride and security. Singh also criticized Gandhi for his comments on the representation of particular demographics within the Army, describing them as divisive and irresponsible. He reiterated the government’s commitment to national security, citing the success of Operation Sindoor as a testament to the armed forces’ readiness to retaliate against terrorist threats. This debate underscores a broader concern regarding the politicization of national defense and highlights the prevailing narrative within the current government to protect the integrity and unity of the armed forces, which is crucial for maintaining public confidence and national security in India.
