Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has written a letter to President Droupadi Murmu, urging her to intervene in the Agnipath scheme. Gandhi criticizes the scheme for creating a 'lesser' cadre of soldiers who are expected to perform similar tasks as regular soldiers but with lower pay, benefits, and prospects. He appeals to President Murmu to ensure that Agniveer soldiers receive the same benefits as any soldier who makes the highest sacrifice for the country. Gandhi seeks to end 'discrimination' and calls for 'nyay (justice)' for Agniveer soldiers.
