During a discussion on the Agniveer scheme for entry into the Armed Forces, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi criticised the treatment of Agniveers.
He highlighted a recent incident where an Agniveer lost his life in a landmine blast but was not recognized as a martyr.
Gandhi described the Agniveer scheme as treating soldiers as "use & throw labourers," implying that it fails to honour their sacrifices and contributions adequately.
