In June, Dikshit had triggered a row after he likened Army Chief General Bipin Rawat to a "sadak ka goonda".


After strong opposition from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Sandeep Dikshit, son of former Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said, "I have reservations on a comment of the Army Chief but I should have chosen appropriate words. I apologise."


Even Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had expressed disapproval over party leader Sandeep Dikshit comparing Army Chief General Bipin Rawat with a goon on the street.


Ours is not a mafia army like the Pakistani army which makes statements like the goons on the street. It looks bad when our Army chief gives a statement like a 'sadak ka goonda' (goon on the street)," the former Congress MP had said.
