The Congress Party has addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrangement of the new Army Chief Lieutenant General Bipin Rawat asking the administration for what reason it didn't take after the main of rank while naming the following armed force head of India.

The Opposition condemned the legislature for having ignored the custom of delegating the senior-most officers as armed force boss. Current Army Chief Dalbir Singh is good to go to resign on December 31.

Manish Tewari reprimanded the choice and said in a progression of tweets: "Why has rank not been regarded in arrangement of Army Chief ? Why have Lt Gen Pravin Bakshi and Lt Gen Mohamed Ali Hariz been superseded Mr PM? Why has fourth senior most officer Lt Gen Bipin Rawat, with due regards to his demonstrable skill, superseded other two seniors in the compel? Indeed, even Lt Gen B S Negi Army officer Central Command is higher ranking than him?"

Eastern Army Commander Lieutenant General Praveen Bakshi is the senior-most armed force official after current Army Chief General Dalbir Singh. Southern Army Commander Lieutenant General PM Hariz is the following senior-generally official.

The Left has additionally raised complaints to Rawat's arrangement as the new armed force boss.

"For the most part, we never remark on issues identified with the military. Yet, it appears that the administration is attempting to change the conventions and standards of India's real organizations," CPI(M) politburo part Md Salim was cited by the Hindustan Times as saying.

Be that as it may, sources from the Defense Ministry were cited by ANI as saying: "Lt. Gen Rawat has colossal hands-on involvement of serving in battle ranges and at different practical levels over most recent three decades. He was found the most appropriate among the Lt. Officers to manage developing difficulties."

This is not the first occasion when that the convention of taking a gander at rank while designating armed force boss has been bargained. In the 1980s, Lieutenant General S K Sinha was disregarded in the arrangement of General A S Vaidya as the armed force boss.

For the most part, the names of the new boss are declared a few months ahead of time. Be that as it may, this time, the names were declared scarcely two weeks before the present armed force boss resigns.

Political gatherings for the most part don't meddle in or remark on matters identified with the military. Be that as it may, the Opposition has been focusing on PM Modi since he reported his choice to demonetise high-esteem cash notes on November 8 this year. It appears they haven't quit focusing on him to the extent the arrangement of the armed force boss is concerned.
