Date:

A quote post attributed to Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat is making rounds on social media which reads that “to become a leader, it should be made mandatory to serve the country in the army for 5 years.”

The text read: “आर्मी चीफ बिपिन रावत जी ने कहा अगर नेता बनना है तो 5 साल पहले देश की सेवा के लिए आर्मी में होना अनिवार्य कर दिया जाए ! यकीन मानिए देश का 80% कचरा अपने आप ही साफ़ हो जायेगा. इनके बातो से कितने लोग सहमत है जो सहमत हैं शेयर करे”
