A few days, the whole nation was shocked when BSF Jawan Tej Bahadur made some startling revelations about the poor food quality that the jawans have to deal with. Surviving in extreme climatic conditions is very difficult and eating bad food is the last thing you want. Reportedly, the jawan also said that he had been transferred from the BSF camp to the headquarters and given a plumber’s job.

Now, another video has surfaced where a CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) soldier, Constable Jeet Singh, asks PM Narendra Modi to look into the facilities that are being provided to the paramilitary forces. The constable is currently deployed in Mount Abu and points out the discrimination between the army and the paramilitary forces. On one hand where the soldiers from the army are given pension, the paramilitary personnel are deprived from it even after 20 years of service. The Constable also stated how despite working selflessly for the country, they don’t even have the ex-servicemen quota or medical facilities. 

He even drew comparisons between teachers and the CRPF jawans where the former gets to enjoy paid leaves and take home a hefty salary while the latter can’t even expect spending some quality time with their loved ones. “Why this discrimination against us?” said a disheartened Jeet Singh, whose pension has been stopped and who does not receive any kind of perks like medical facilities, canteen facilities or One Rank One Pension. While we are sitting in the comfort of our homes and offices, these jawans are risking their lives to maintain law and order in the borders of our country. If the government can’t even provide the basic amenities to them, then it’s a failure on the part of the whole country for our inability to take notice of such extreme and difficult conditions they are facing.
