Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday lambasted Rahul Gandhi for seeking to know about the caste and religion of army jawans. Shah said the country does not discriminate among military personnel on the basis of caste or creed.
“Rahul Gandhi should be ashamed for seeking to know about the caste and religion of Army jawans. We do not discriminate among military personnel on the basis of caste or creed,” he said.
Addressing back-to-back election rallies in Madhubani, West Champaran and Motihari districts, Shah also took up the issue of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, saying that these people snatch jobs and pose security threats to the country. He also asserted that the Bihar assembly elections are for making the eastern state “infiltrator-free”.
Gandhi, while addressing public rallies in Bihar on Tuesday, claimed that lower castes, tribal communities and minorities have little representation in the armed forces.
