KOLHAPUR: Union home minister Amit Shah said Friday every Agniveer from Maharashtra will get a " pension wali naukri " either in the Central Armed Police Forces or state govt on completion of service.
Addressing a rally at Karad in Satara district where BJP's Atul Bhosale is taking on Congress's former CM Prithviraj Chavan, Shah acknowledged that Satara is known for a large number of youth joining the armed forces. He said, "Former PM Indira Gandhi had promised one rank, one pension (OROP), but Congress failed to keep the promise over the last 40 years. PM Narendra Modi, after coming to power, implemented OROP." Shah said Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who was objecting to the Agnipath scheme, "is a 'jhoot failane wali factory (factory for spreading lies)'." He said, "He (Rahul) is lying that Agniveer will render jawans unemployed. We say Agniveer will make the armed forces young."
Shah targeted NCP (SCP) chief Sharad Pawar and Rahul Gandhi on Article 370. "Pawar and his company want restoration of Article 370. Have you seen how NC and Congress tried to pass the resolution in J&K assembly to bring back Article 370? I want to tell Pawar and his company, Rahul Baba, that even if their four generations are to come, no one can bring back Article 370."
Shah said Gandhi's love for the Constitution was "a lie". "With the help of NGOs, Rahul is carrying out a conspiracy. At a recent event, the Constitution was distributed with blank pages. He waves 'Nakli Samvidhan'. Rahul has disrespected the Constitution. He wants to break the country on caste lines. No one will be allowed to touch reservations for SCs, STs, and OBCs," he said.
Shah said Congress made changes in the waqf Act, which made it easy for the waqf board to grab land belonging to anyone. He alleged that in Karnataka, the Congress-led govt had transferred an entire village to the waqf board. "If MVA forms govt, it will transfer land belonging to farmers to the waqf board. Pawar and Gandhi are against the changes needed in the waqf Act. We have drafted the bill. Whatever the opposition tries, we will get the bill passed in the upcoming session of Parliament," said Shah.
Shah also took a dig at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for aligning with those "who call Hindutva 'paakhand'." He said, "You (Uddhav) are sitting with those who protected the tombs of Afzal Khan and Aurangzeb. You are sitting with those who call Hindus terrorists. You are sitting with those who fed biryani to (26/11 Mumbai terror attack convict) Ajmal Kasab. And you are sitting with those who question the existence of Lord Ram. You should be ashamed."
