NEW DELHI: After the death of two Agniveers in Nashik during training, LoP in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday demanded that PM Modi and defence minister Rajnath Singh should answer "why the life of one soldier is more valuable than that of another soldier".
"The death of two Agniveers - Gohil Vishwaraj Singh and Saifat Sheet - is very tragic. My deepest condolences to their families," Rahul said on X.
"Will the families of Gohil and Saifat receive timely compensation that is equivalent to the compensation for any other martyred soldier? Why will the families of Agniveers not get the benefits of pension and other govt facilities? When the responsibilities and sacrifices of both the soldiers are the same, then why this discrimination after their martyrdom?" he asked.
