New Delhi, May 29 (IBNS) : Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu on Monday supported the Army chief's statement defending that the "dirty war in Jammu and Kashmir needs innovation to be tackled with and said that he "totally" agrees with Bipin Rawat.

"Totally agree with Indian Army chief's statement that the dirty war in Jammu and Kashmir calls for innovation," Naidu tweeted. 

Gen Rawat had said the  Indian Army is facing a "dirty war" in Jammu and Kashmir which has to be fought through "innovative" ways.

He said this while  defending the use of a Kashmiri as a 'human shield' by a young officer.

 Rawat had said the main objective of awarding Major Leetul Gogoi, when a Court of Inquiry was finalising its probe into the incident, was to boost the morale of young officers of the force who are working  in a very difficult environment in J & K.
