Ghaziabad: Union Minister of State for External Affairs, General (retired) VK Singh, has said that Indian amry do not belong to any political party and those who call amry as Sena of a party is traitor.

In an interview, Gen Singh commented on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Yogi Adityanath's recent remarks wherein he had described the Indian Army as 'Modi ki Sena'.

Adityanath had made the controversial remarks at a rally in Ghaziabad on April 1 while campaigning for Singh.

Singh said, "During campaigning for the BJP, everyone also describes themselves as army. But which army are we talking about here? Are we talking about the Indian Army or are we talking about political workers. I am not aware of the context. If someone says that India's Army is Modi ji's army, then he is not only wrong but also a traitor. India's armed forces belong to India, not to any political party. He further said, "Don't know who is saying all this. There are one or two people who say things like these because they do not have anything else.

The statement of Singh came after UP CM Yogi Adityanath said called amry as ‘Modi ki Sena’. He had said: "Congress ke log aatankwadiyon ko biryani khilate hain aur Modi ji ki sena aatankwadiyon ko goli aur gola deti hai (Congress people feed biryani to terrorists, while Modi's army gives them bullet or bomb)."
