Leader of Opposition in Congress Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had “lied” in Parliament on the issue of compensation to the families of martyred Agniveers. He said that he should apologize for this. Now the statement of ADG PI of the Indian Army has come out in this matter. It is said that some posts on social media have revealed that compensation has not been given to the victims of Agniveer Ajay Kumar, who lost his life in the line of duty. Let us tell you that the post of ADG PI has been reposted by the office of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.

ADG PI said that under the Agniveer scheme, financial assistance and other benefits worth about Rs 67 lakh will be paid after police executions. The total amount will be around Rs 1.65 crore. The report stressed that the financial assistance to the families of martyred soldiers will be paid as soon as possible, including Agniveers.

What did Rahul say after sharing the video?

Let us tell you that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had shared a video on Twitter in which he alleged that Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had lied in Parliament about the assistance given to the family of martyr Agniveer. The father of martyr Agniveer Ajay Singh himself has told his lie to be true. The Defense Minister should apologize to the Parliament, the country, the army and the family of martyr Agniveer Ajay Singh. In his video, Rahul Gandhi had cited the alleged statement of the father of Agniveer martyr Ajay Singh. Sharing Rahul’s post, Priyanka Gandhi also accused the BJP of “insulting the sacrifice of the families” who sacrificed their sons for the country.

Rahul Gandhi raised the issue

Congress President Rahul Gandhi also mentioned the Central Government’s Agniveer Yojana and said that I have met the family of Agniveer. The Central Government does not give martyr status to Agniveer. Agniveer is a useful and turbocharger. This scheme has created fear in the minds of SEALs. Modi ji does not consider these SEALs as martyrs. On this, Rajnath Singh, citing the supporters of Rahul’s Agnipath military recruitment scheme, said that the scheme was started after suggestions from 158 organizations.

Rajnath had accused Rahul of corruption

During Rahul Gandhi’s address on the motion of thanks on the President’s address, Rajnath Singh had said that Agniveers who sacrifice their lives in the line of duty will receive a compensation of Rs 1 crore. Rajnath Singh had asked Rahul Gandhi not to disappoint Parliament and also demanded Congress President Om Birla to remove Rahul’s failure on the Agneepath scheme.
