In the ongoing Parliament session, Rahul Gandhi remarked on the Agniveer scheme for entry into the Armed Forces, noting that one Agniveer had tragically lost his life in a landmine blast. He pointed out that this individual was not acknowledged as a ‘martyr’, emphasizing that ‘Agniveer’ seemed to be viewed as a disposable labourer.
