Eulogizing the valour shown by the officer while handling the subversives and saving several lives during protests in Valley, Harsh Dev applauded the Indian Army for awarding Chief of Army’s Commendation Card to Major Leetul Gogoi for his efforts in counter- insurgency operations in the valley. He said that his novel idea not only rescued the group of security officials but also saved lives of several civilians from the mob of stone pelters.
Expressing deep shock over the way the officer was treated by the BJP-PDP, Singh regretted that the State Government despicably registered FIR against the brave- heart u/s 342, 149, 506, 367 of the RPC on April 17, 2017 which has brought disgrace to all Indians. “Even the most logical and convincing explanation given by the Army officer for using the ring leader of stone pelters as human shield went unheard and the BJP partnered Government announced to proceed with the investigations and trial of the national hero”, Harsh Dev maintained.
Taking a jibe at the Saffron party, Harsh Dev said that while the BJP leaders made media statements hailing the award conferred upon Major Gogoi, it being a partner in the Government shamelessly colluded in registering the FIRs against the revered officer. He regretted that despite the countrywide appreciation of Major Gogoi for his out of the box decision, the BJP-PDP Govt decided to take punitive action against him only to please the anti-nationals and the secessionists for remaining glued to power.
NPP leader demanded immediate revocation of the FIR against the decorated Army Major and asked BJP to withdraw from the coalition if it failed to do so.
