Congress spokesman Manish Tewari slammed the government for “playing with institutions” and “doing politics” in the Army and wondered if it was “whimsical cherry picking”. Senior CPI lawmaker D Raja said appointments — whether in the Army, judiciary or those of CVC, acting CBI director and to the Central Information Commission — had become controversial.
The government and BJP, however, strongly defended Lt Gen Rawat’s elevation over two senior officers. “They are all competent officers but under the prevailing security scenario, the government found Lt Gen Rawat the most suitable candidate. We will urge all political parties to not do politics over it,” BJP spokesperson Shrikant Sharma said. He added that there was no other issue involved in promotion of Lt Gen Rawat and pointed to supersessions in the past.
