Rahul Gandhi urges President Murmu to ensure same benefits for Agniveers as regular soldiers

The Hindu  

Alleging discrimination in the nature and extent of benefits given to the families of Agniveer soldiers who die in action, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi wrote to President Droupadi Murmu to intervene and ensure benefits to them as regular soldiers. You have taken an oath to devote yourself to the well-being of the people of India,” Mr. Gandhi said in his letter of May 31, posted on his X handle on Saturday. “There can be no clearer illustration of the fundamental flaw in the Agnipath scheme — the creation of a ‘lesser’ cadre of soldiers who are expected to work on similar tasks with lower pay, benefits and prospects,” Mr. Gandhi said, adding that the Opposition parties have already announced to repeal the scheme if they come to power. “Therefore, I appeal to you to use your distinguished office to do nyaay — justice to Agniveer soldiers who lay down their lives, by ensuring that they receive the same benefits as any soldier who makes the highest sacrifice for our motherland,” he added.
