Hire 30% Muslims Into Indian Army To Tackle Terrorists: Former JDU Leader

Former Janata Dal (United) Rajya Sabha MP Ghulam Rasool Balyawi created controversy, over his remark on hiring in the Indian Army. On February 13, Ghulam addressed a public event and said, "if there is any fear of fighting terrorists from Pakistan, appoint 30% Muslims in the Indian Army to deal with them." The BJP criticised Ghulam for his statement and said, this is an attempt to gain Muslim votes.
