Former Indian Navy chief Retired Admiral L Ramdas has called for immediate intervention of the Election Commission to stop political parties from using the armed forces actions for political gains.
In an open letter to Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora, Admiral Ramdas said with elections due in a few weeks, it is particularly important that there should not be any misuse of the recent events by any political party to send triumphalist or jingoistic messages which can influence the electorate.
