Govt making ‘cheap attempt’ of using Army for its publicity: Congress

The Congress on Monday accused the government of making a “cheap attempt” of using the Army for its political publicity and sought President Droupadi Murmu’s immediate intervention in the matter.

The party’s remarks come in the wake of claims made in a media report that the Army would help publicise government schemes across the country.

Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh said the Army belongs to all and has never been made a part of the country’s internal politics.
