"Worst Way to Save Money" I Agniveer Battle Between Rahul Gandhi & Modi Government I Barkha Dutt
#rahulgandhi #modi #agniveer
In his speech on July 1, during the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi called the Agnipath scheme for recruitment in the armed forces a “use and throw” scheme that differentiates heavily between a permanent soldier and those temporarily recruited as Agniveers.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh intervened to say that Gandhi’s allegations were false and that the government provides Rs 1 crore compensation to families of Agniveer soldiers who die in the line of duty.
On July 3, Gandhi posted a video on X in which he said that the defence minister had lied to parliament about this compensation. The video then showed a clip of Ajay Kumar’s father telling Gandhi earlier that while the Punjab government has given the family some money, the “Central government gave them nothing.” The video also shows Kumar’s father reacting to Rajnath Singh’s compensation claim in the Lok Sabha. He says, “We received neither any message, nor any money.”
Hours later, the Indian Army’s spokesperson posted on X, saying that they wished to clarify that “Of the total amount due, family of Agniveer Ajay has already been paid Rs 98.39 lakhs.”
Is Ministry Passing Off Insurance as Govt Payment?

Gen Mor is a true soldier and spoke from his heart to demonstrate he has been a commander who understood his Troops extremely well.
The matter is straightforward now. There are two insurance payments; one is from SBI connected his bank account. Another insurance is the soldier’s membership in an army organisation. Where is the one bullet payment of 1 crore from the central government or Army compensation fund promised in the Parliament?
The shaheed got one crore and the debater is saying I didn’t know who paid. Such a shallow debate and Barkha is misleading. Not questioning Rahul Gandhi who mislead the nation.
Completely agree with Gen Shukla. All these old and retired ex-servicemen are all like, "I have been..." or "I have seen..." or "I know how..." and so on and so forth. Spare a thought for all those Colonels and Generals and Majors who are in service right now. They might be thinking, "don't we know anything"?
I am just a lay person child of a jawan under the British army. I fin the change not good for the armed forces 😢
Government should cut down on expenditures done for politicians…tat would provide adequate funds for improving army strength. Saving money by not providing for ppl protecting the country is such a shame
Thank god politicians are not called…
Agnipath is a royal path to FOLLY. Two reasons were adduced during the press conference in June 2022. First making the army younger and second making young men more disciplined. Both are not tenable as I can prove that by using 10th class arithmetic.
A beautiful interview conducted Madam Barkha, with the high officers of the Armed forces on a hot topic, 'Agniveer.' The different points of views was given with knowledge, experience, personal views that enlightened us viewers and the outcome of agree to disagree, with courtesy and grace as Gentlemen. The code and ethics of our Armed Forces. May they all, in present services or in retirement be Blessed by the Almighty above.
What a way to save money. Shame that the law makers find difficult to use their hearts and minds 😢
My friend who served short service, still couldn't find jobs.
Only man who made sense was General shukla
why not they ( Minister،army) clear it by exhibiting the agreement between Agniveer and Army۔
Wonderful show. One platform for unbiased journalism/ reporting
It is nothing but waste of finance...
This is bloody hell. If govt will keep reservation to retired army personnel in every department then can these speakers tell me what will happen to others boys who don't want to join the army.
Agniveer for politicians too.
It is not about cutting corners in Defence Budgets, Barkhajee, it's about doing away with HUGE CONTIGENT LIABILITIES in the future, without real COST-BENEFiT
30 000 on paper 18000 in hand
It's good that RAGA's intervention has given rise to a debate on this flawed scheme. It's true that Raga hadn't done his homework properly. Or he was ill-informed. However it was a blessing in disguise. If he had merely pointed out the drawbacks of the scheme, the government wouldn't have responded. It's his faux pas that drew an immediate response from the HM. Many army officers are opposed to it. It is tantamount to compromising on the security of the country
