Valour of our defence forces should not be an election issue, it never was: Arun Jaitley at Vande Mataram

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Saturday said that valour of the defence forces should not be made an election issue. While speaking at IndiaTV's mega conclave on terrorism - 'Vande Mataram', Jaitley urged all political parties not to bring the country's armed forces into political controversies. "India has always kept armed forces at arms distance from political issues. Unlike Pakistan, we don't drag armed forces in election campaigns or political debates. We should always keep that in mind," Jaitley said.
