Chauhan’s post expresses concern over the perceived politicization of the armed forces, suggesting that the current regime is exploiting these officers for petty politics and hyper-nationalism, rather than respecting their service and the gravity of their roles.
The video clip, sourced from the show, features the officers discussing Operation Sindoor, a high-risk counter-terror mission, in response to a question posed by host amitabh Bachchan. The narrative of the episode aims to celebrate India’s military achievements and honor the officers’ contributions, especially in light of Independence Day.
However, Chauhan’s tweet challenges this portrayal, arguing that such appearances undermine the apolitical nature of the military and risk turning these serious figures into mere props for entertainment and political gain. The post highlights a broader debate about the boundaries between military service and political exploitation, a sensitive issue in india where the armed forces are traditionally seen as above partisan politics.
