In an interview with Kashmir Times, Major General Sudhir Vombatkere says that it is imperative that the army be held accountable for any violation of human rights and that transparency in investigations is paramount to ensure justice and maintain public trust. He averred, the army should not be misused in internal conflicts, as their primary role should be to safeguard the nation’s security rather than being embroiled in domestic disputes. Prolonged deployment of the army in conflict zones signifies profound failures in governance, highlighting the inability of political authorities to address underlying issues effectively. It is crucial to acknowledge that while individual personnel may bear responsibility for their actions, the broader accountability also lies with the political leadership.
