Agnipath Scheme Faces Scrutiny Amid Rahul Gandhi's ₹ 1cr Accusations
Jul 4, 2024, 12:15 PM
The Agnipath scheme has come under fresh scrutiny following accusations from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha. The Indian Army responded to the claims, clarifying that emoluments due to fallen heroes, including Agniveers, are paid expeditiously to the next of kin. The controversy intensified as the family of fallen Agniveer Ajay Kumar Singh admitted to receiving insurance money, although ex-gratia payments are still pending. The family mentioned receiving ₹ 1cr, with ₹ 50 lakhs being from insurance. The Indian Army countered Rahul Gandhi's assertions by detailing what Ajay Kumar’s kin received and did not receive. The situation has sparked a political slugfest, with various media outlets and government representatives involved in the discourse.
