Dr. Asma Khawaja, Executive Director CISS AJK, spoke on The Forum (Suno FM) hosted by Javeed Khan Jadoon, highlighting concerns over the rising saffronization of India’s armed forces.

Highlights:

🔹 Aiyar’s critique reflects growing unease over Hinduized military operation names undermining neutrality.
🔹 Voices like Aiyar and Parveen Swamy are branded “traitors,” shrinking space for dissent.
🔹 India’s secular military ethos is being politicized under the Hindutva narrative.
🔹 Saffron symbolism and theatrics—like Rafale hype—cannot replace genuine military professionalism.
