ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office on Friday warned that Indian military was increasingly getting radicalised, a worrisome scenario that could potentially have serious implications for regional peace and security.
In a rejoinder to Indian Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Bipin Rawat’s comments, the FO said his “irresponsible and gratuitous” statement shows his ignorance about ground realities in Pakistan and his politicised view.
“His tirade is also illustrative of the RSS-BJP mindset — a dangerous mix of extremist ‘Hindutva’ ideology and expansionist ‘Akhand Bharat’ designs,” it said.
“It is a sad fact that this mindset has permeated the state institutions of India, including the armed forces,” it added.
