New Delhi- Indian Army Chief perturbed at social media use in Kashmir

Dehradun: Indian Army Chief General Bipin Singh Rawat on Saturday said youth in Kashmir are being misled to take wrong path.

While attending the Passing Out Parade held at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun, the Army Chief said, "Youth in Kashmir are being instigated by a misinformation and disinformation campaign being run on social media.”

“Youths there (Valley) are misleaded to take wrong path. We always try that youth, who are misled, should drop their weapons and come with us,” the Army Chef said. He also termed Pakistan behind the social media instigation in Occupied Kashmir.

Jammu and Kashmir has been on the boil since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani in July last year.

Kashmir has been witnessing frequent clashes between security forces and stone-pelting mobs since then.
