Opposition parties are seemed to have tough times from newly appointed CDS Bipin Rawat. Rawat's statements on Kashmir, terrorism and politics surrounding it irked a new row again. CPIM leader Sitaram Yechury has said as a military commander, Gen Bipin Rawat has no business making these statements while Asaduddin Owaisi has said he is undermining civilian supremacy.
Chief of Defence Staff Gen Bipin Rawat on Thursday said de-radicalisation camps are operating in the country as it was necessary to isolate people who are completely radicalised.
In an address at an event in New Delhi, Gen Rawat, delving into the situation in Kashmir, said girls and boys as young as 10 and 12 years are being radicalised in the Valley which he described as a matter of concern.
Gen Bipin Rawat also said, "These people can still be isolated from radicalisation in a gradual way. But there are people who have been completely radicalised. These people need to be taken out separately, possibly taken to some de-radicalisation camps."
On these statements, opposition came hard on him.
