Instead, the former Captain ended up endorsing the gross violation of basic human rights that the army has been accused of perpetrating. While expressing his admiration for the men in uniform, Amarinder Singh came down heavily on those criticising the official who was responsible for tying an innocent man to the front of an Army jeep and using him as a human shield. Captain Singh defended the actions of the Major and even went so far as to say “had I been in the same situation, I would have carried out the same action.”Here's the video as well. pic.twitter.com/qj1rnCVazn — Omar Abdullah (@abdullah_omar) April 14, 2017There was absolutely no need for Captain Singh to make any comments regarding the incident, especially since the court of inquiry into the allegations has still not come to any conclusions. His utter disregard for human rights and the rights of the individual, especially in areas of conflict and tension, does not inspire confidence.
