CPI Member Demands Agniveer Scheme Withdrawal
Imagine the government created a new program called Agniveer for soldiers.
One person in the government, P Sandosh Kumar, doesn't like this program.
He is upset because of a soldier named Murali Naik who died while serving in a military operation.
Unfortunately, under the new program, Naik's family does not get a pension or other help.
Kumar thinks this is very unfair and is asking the government to stop the Agniveer program.
CPI member P Sandosh Kumar demanded withdrawal of the Agniveer scheme.
The demand was made during a discussion in the Rajya Sabha.
The discussion was about Operation Sindoor.
Kumar highlighted the death of Agniveer Murali Naik during Operation Sindoor.
Naik's family is ineligible for pension and long-term benefits under the Agniveer scheme.
