‘Dirty war’ needs ‘innovative’ ways: Army chief Rawat

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has said the Indian Army is facing a “dirty war” in Jammu and Kashmir which has to be fought through “innovative” ways.
In an exclusive interview to a private news agency, the army chief said the main objective of awarding Major Leetul Gogoi, when a Court of Inquiry was finalising its probe into the incident, was to boost the morale of young officers of the force who are operating in a very difficult environment of the militancy- infested state.

He asserted that maximum restraint is being maintained while handling the situation in the state.
