Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit on Sunday said that it felt bead when Army chief gave statement like a “sadak ka gunda.” Soon after making that statement, Dikshit withdrew his statement by saying that he genuinely believed that what he said was wrong and apologised for it.

After Dikshit’s statement on Army chief, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju attacked Congress.

I don’t know what is wrong with Congress? How Congress can say that Army chief is talking like a “sadak ka gunda,” said Rijiju.
