Rahul should stop spreading misconceptions about Agniveer: Amit Shah

Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said that when Rahul Baba became the leader, many radical changes are taking place in the politics of this country. Earlier, only legal parties used to present the true issues before the people by distorting them. But never made an issue of falsehood. Rahul Gandhi has started a new tradition, again falsehood was made an issue and one of the best example of this is Agniveer Yojana.

A misconception is being spread across the country about the Agniveer scheme that after 4 years, 75 percent of the Agniveers will have no future, their lives will be ruined. In fact, under this scheme, if 100 soldiers become Agniveer, then 2-5 percent of them will get direct permanent posting in the army and for the remaining 75 percent of the soldiers, all the BJP ruled state governments have made 10 percent to 20 percent reservation in their police forces. And 10 percent reservation has also been made in the paramilitary forces of the Central Government. They have also been given many concessions in the selection after reserved seats like age relaxation, some advantages in examination and they will not have to do physical test. After all these concessions, there will hardly be any Agniveer left who has not joined the State Police Force or Central Para Military Force. Apart from this, many private security agencies and companies have also set priority for Agniveer. Now a youth will undergo training for 4 years at government expense and will become competent. Along with a good salary, after 4 years he will also get a job for the whole life with a pension.

Home Minister Amit Shah said that there will be no harm to the soldiers in this. For the benefit of his party, Rahul Gandhi is spreading lies among the people and misleading the public. He appealed to the youth not to fall prey to such false illusions and I want to warn them not to mislead the public by spreading such false things in a small state like Himachal which is also a battlefield. You all must convey this message of mine to the youth and the families of our ex-army soldiers. He said that even after Agniveer Seva, everyone has to get a job either in the army, police or para military forces. Pension, gratuity and all government benefits received along with service will also continue. Agniveer is the best example of Rahul Baba’s habit of telling lies again and again.
