Army chief briefs Jaitley on Kashmir situation
NEW DELHI: Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat today met Defence Minister Arun Jaitley and briefed him about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
The meeting came a day after Jaitley said Army officers were free to take decisions in a “war-like” zone, in comments which appeared to justify Major Leetul Gogoi's action of tying a man to a jeep in Kashmir as a human shield to deter stone- pelting protesters.
Sources said it was a “routine” meeting during which Gen Rawat apprised Jaitley of the security situation in the troubled state besides discussing some other issues. (AGENCIES)
