Agniveer

The issue has sparked broader discussions, with a parliamentary panel recommending that families of Agniveers who die in the line of duty should receive benefits equivalent to those provided to families of regular military personnel.

Hitting out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remark on Agniveer, BJP called him a 'loose cannon'.  K'taka BJP said that he is a 'loose cannon, shooting randomly and making irrelevant statements'.

The clarification came within two hours of a video message by Rahul Gandhi, doubling down on his statement that compensation has not been paid to Agniveer Ajay Kumar's family.

The woman was from Kerala, according to local police officer Chimaji Adhav.
