“The demise of Abe by the hands of an ex-serviceman has best validated the fears of the folk over the Agnipath scheme,” the TMC’s mouthpiece ‘Jago Bangla’ (Get up, Bengal) mentioned in a piece of writing on Saturday.
The attacker misplaced his activity within the Jap Maritime Self-Defence Power after 3 years of carrier and he used to be no longer getting any pension, it claimed. Agniveers too would no longer get any pension after their four-year carrier duration is over, the thing identified.
“The BJP is enjoying with fireplace within the title of the Agnipath scheme. We’ve got observed what has came about in Japan. An ex-serviceman killed the previous High Minister,” TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh mentioned on Sunday.
The BJP mentioned that such apprehensions are baseless. “We’ve got by no means heard of this sort of incident during which an ex-serviceman of our nation is concerned. The TMC is simply seeking to politicise the subject,” state BJP spokesperson Samik Samik Bhattacharya mentioned.
