So now the BJP is leftist! Wonder of wonders.

Stop trying to associate the armed forces with your psuedo nationalist
right-wing agenda.  The armed forces are incredibly secular, which is whom I
got this value from. Any right-wing (hindu, muslim or sikh) blather has no
support in that institution and I am so grateful for that.

Once again, you have no ideas, no proposals, no nothing; just B.S. criticism
of some imaginary villain.
