Weeks after his unpublished memoir stirred a storm in Parliament, former Army chief General Manoj Mukund Naravane opened up on the controversy and decoded the meaning behind the "jo uchit samjho, woh karo" (do whatever you deem appropriate) remark that was allegedly told to him by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the border dispute with China. In an exclusive interview with India Today, his first since the row, General Naravane said the remark showed the government's "total faith" on the armed forces and there should be no politics over it.
