KOLKATA, 20 JUNE: While answering a question on Kailash Vijayvargiya’s comment on Agniveer, All India Trinamul Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee today said, “I have no words to condemn what Kailash Vijayvargiya said. It is a part of the Modi government’s tradition to announce schemes without consultation. This happened during demonetisation, CAA, and farm laws.”
Mr Banerjee alleged they (read BJP) had used the armed forces sentiment to fight elections and after the elections are over, the Modi government says that Agniveers will be released after four years of service only to work as a security guard in BJP offices. There is nothing more shameful than this,” he added.
He also said BJP leader’s son will be the BCCI secretary and president of the Asian Cricket Council. Vijayvargiya’s son is an MLA who openly assaults bureaucrats. But the son of the poor and a common man will become a security guard? Do they not have the right to work at a good place? Do they not have the right to work for the Army and the country?” Mr Banerjee asked.
The national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee stated union minister for state Home Affairs, Mrs G. Kishan Reddy said that Agniveers would be trained to become electricians and plumbers. Is this the reason the union government is creating Agniveers? We condemn this,’ he said.
“These leaders should be expelled from the party if they hold such thoughts” Mr Banerjee demanded.
“The BJP used the Balakot strike during elections and then forgot about them. They will only need the Army three months before the 2024 polls,’ he added.
The two leaders who have made such objectionable comments should be kicked out of the country. These guys talk about the Rohingyas – In reality, they are the ones who should be ousted (from the Party) because they insulted the Army and our soldiers.
“However, I would like to add that while we believe that everyone has the right to protest, the agitation should be peaceful and there shouldn’t be any anarchy,” Mr Banerjee added.
