    Army Chief Bipin Rawat defends human shield idea
  • Army Chief Bipin Rawat, in an attempt to instil confidence in his men, defended the actions of Major Leetul Gogoi who had used an alleged stone-pelting youth as a human shield for the army's operation.

    Major Gogoi was awarded the Army Chief's Commendation Card for his anti-insurgency operations.

    His actions had created a stir among human rights activists and Kashmiri groups.
