Retired Armed Forces Officers' Welfare Association (RAOWA) urged retired army officials in politics to refrain from making comments on past controversial happenings of their service life.

Secretary General of RAOWA Col (Retd) Abul Fazal Mohammad Khaled yesterday in a statement said, "A few armed forces officers involved in politics are passing unhealthy remarks on past controversial issues, which are directly undermining and degrading the pride, prestige and honour of the retired army officers."

He said retired armed forces officers involved in politics should uphold the gracious pride and prestige of the uniform and work towards the development of the country.
