New Delhi: Army chief Bipin Rawat has criticized violence during protests over the citizenship law and has said that leaders are not those who lead masses in arson and violence.
Addressing an event in New Delhi, Rawat, who will retire on December 31 said that leadership is all about leading.
“Therefore what is so complex about leadership, if it’s all about leading? Because when you move forward, everybody follows. It is not that simple. It appears simple, but it’s a very complex phenomenon. Even amongst the crowd, you find leaders… But leaders are those who lead people in the right direction. Leaders are not those people who lead people in inappropriate directions, as we are witnessing in a large number of university and college students, the way they are leading masses of crowds to carry out arson and violence in our cities and towns. This is not leadership,” the NDTV quoted the outgoing Army chief.
