Thiruvananthapuram: CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Sunday demanded that the Union government come clean on the de-radicalisation camps operating in India.

He described as "outrageous" the disclosure of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen Bipin Rawat that de-radicalisation camps were operating in the country.

The CDS had said there is a need for de-radicalisation of Muslim youth, particularly in Kashmir.

"Army commanders are entering domestic politics. This is unprecedented.

What is shocking is that already such camps are existing," Yechury told reporters here.
