New Delhi, Dec 6 (IANS) The military should be kept away from politics, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a seminar here, Rawat said: "Of late we have been seeing that politicisation of military has been taking place.
"We operate in a very secular manner. We have a vibrant democracy, where the military should stay far away from the polity."
