Agniveer Amritpal Singh: Raghav Chadha Slams Centre for No Guard of Honour for Martyred Soldier
Raghav Chadha Targets BJP: Sepoy Amritpal Singh, an Agniveer soldier, was martyred on October 11 from a gunshot wound along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch region of Jammu and Kashmir while on guard duty in the Mankote area near the LoC. Amritpal Singh, who was serving with the Jammu and Kashmir Rifles, was cremated on Friday in his hometown of Mansa, Punjab. In this regard, AAP leader Raghav Chadha expressed his disappointment with the government for not giving proper tribute and honour to Martyred Amritpal Singh.
'Shame on Centre
Following a court of inquiry seeking additional information, the Indian Army described Agniveer Amritpal Singh’s death while on sentry duty in Rajouri Sector as “an unfortunate incident” caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Meanwhile, in his statement, the AAP Leader said, “Shame on the central government that doesn’t honour martyrs. Merely taking photos and distributing sweets on Diwali doesn’t suffice. If genuine respect is to be shown, pensions and compensation for their families should not be discontinued under the disguise of cost-cutting.”
