He may have been compared with the notorious General Dyer of Jallianwala Bagh infamy, but Army Chief General Bipin Rawat is unfazed by the description.
"See, I am an Army officer, just anything cannot affect me.
You have to be prepared to face such. . . .
People can misinterpret (comments made by him), " General Rawat told IANS in an interaction.
He was asked about academician Partha Chatterjee comparing him with General Dyer, who ordered firing at a crowd of protesters at Jallianwala Bagh of Amritsar on April 13, 1919, in which 379 people were killed.
"There is no need to react. . .
It should not bother me, " the General said.
Asked if he was not hurt by the comparison, he said: "Not at all".
He added that people should be left to judge.
"People are the best judges; majority's decision will be right, " he said.
