A day after peace activist and documentary-filmmaker Tapan Bose made a controversial statement by saying that the Pakistan Army and the Indian Army are alike, Union Minister Smriti Irani slammed him and stated that no Indian can utter anything wrong about the Indian Army. 

In her statement, Irani said, "No Indian can abuse or utter anything wrong about the Indian Army. These words cannot be of an Indian person." 

Adding further, she also stated that she will ask 'Maa Ganga' (River Ganga) to grant 'sadbuddhi' to such people. "If I have to ask something from Maa Ganga, I will ask sadbuddhi for the people who survive on this soil but chants praises for someone else (khate yahan ka, gaate wahan ka)."

Indian Army responds to Tapan Bose's statement

Reacting to the comments made by peace activist Tapan Bose, the Indian Army tweeted a list of its values and morals which sent a clear message on how 'different' the Indian Army was to its Pakistani counterpart.

The Indian Army tweeted on how throughout these years it has upheld the Constitution and fought internal and external wars working only on the directions of the Government of India. It is no hidden fact that the Pakistan Army throughout history has caused political turmoil in Pakistan. Although the country 'claims' to be a democracy, since its creation in 1947, it has spent several decades under military rule, and even as recently as the 2018 elections, was accused of planting Imran Khan in the Prime Minister's seat.
