Rahul attacks PM, says Modi turned soldiers into labourers

Addressing a public rally in Haryana’s Mahendragarh, the Congress leader said that India’s borders are secured by the youth of Haryana and other states.

“You have patriotism in your heart, blood, and DNA. Narendra Modi ji, for the first time, has turned India’s soldiers into labourers. He (PM Modi) says that there will be two kinds of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. One, a normal jawan or officer whose family will get a pension, status, and all other facilities. The other, a poor family’s son who is named Agniveer; this Agniveer will neither get the status of ‘shaheed’ nor will he get any pension or any other facility,” Rahul Gandhi said.

"You have patriotism in your heart, blood, and DNA. Modi ji, has turned India's soldiers into labourers.
