Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has cited the difference in the terms of benefits given to the families of Agniveers and those of regular jawans after their martyrdom and said discrimination in the sacrifice of martyrs is an insult to them.
Gandhi, who has been critical of the Agnipath scheme, shared on X a chart showing less benefits for the families of Agniveers than to those of regular soldiers after they lay down their lives in the line of duty.
शहीदों के बलिदान में भेदभाव उनका अपमान है।
