Defense Minister Rajnath Singh attacked Rahul Gandhi and Congress regarding the Agniveer scheme. Attacking Rahul Gandhi, he said that he is trying to mislead the fire fighters. He also accused Rahul Gandhi of spreading wrong information about the Agneepath scheme. Along with this, he also gave many other information related to Agneepath scheme.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh was seen attacking Rahul Gandhi over the Agneepath scheme. He said that Rahul Gandhi is unnecessarily trying to mislead people. I would like to make it clear that considering the situation around the world, the need for new and enthusiastic soldiers in the Indian Army has been felt for a long time. Many term engagements have been done in the armed forces of different countries like America, Britain, France, Russia, Israel, China. Thus, there are different provisions for recruitment of soldiers.
Rajnath Singh further said that the Agneepath scheme has been started after the consent of all the armed forces of the country. Congress leaders are spreading lies across the country that after completing their service, soldiers have to wander from door to door to earn income. Whereas the truth is that every firefighter will be given a package of around Rs 12 lakh after 4 years of service. Their money is completely free from income tax.
Reservation for firefighters
Along with this, he further said that all the fire warriors are also being included in the army. Of these, 25 percent will be regular in the army on the basis of merit. Many states like Haryana, UP, Rajasthan, Odisha, Assam, MP, Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttarakhand and Goa have announced reservation for the remaining firefighters in government jobs. Apart from this, BJP has made it clear in its manifesto for firemen in Haryana that every fireman will be given a government job. This shows that Agniveer is like our family.
One and a half lakh rupees will be received after death
Accusing the Congress leaders, he said that the Congress leaders have lied that if Agniveer dies while serving, his family will not get anything. This is also a complete lie. When Agniveer dies while serving in the army. So there is a provision to give more than Rs 1.5 crore to his family. A package of Rs 12 lakh will also be given on completion of service. Additionally, Rs 44 lakh is ex-gratia payment by the bank and Rs 48 lakh is without premium.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh attacked Rahul Gandhi
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that the government has also signed MoUs with many banks. Under this insurance, compensation ranging from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore is given. It does not require firefighters to pay a premium. Rahul Gandhi and Congress have spread wrong information about Agniveer, I think even Joseph Goebbels would have felt ashamed if he were there today. He assured that no injustice will be allowed to the people of Haryana or anyone else.
