First BSF, Now CRPF Jawan: Do We Pay Lip Service To Our Soldiers?

When BSF jawan Tej Bahadur put up a series of videos on Facebook earlier this week, complaining about the poor quality food they get on the border. It stirred the country, the images of a soldier showing the pathetic conditions he had to live and work in, except perhaps for his own force that was quick to dismiss him as an alcoholic and raise disciplinary issues. Now another video, this time by a CRPF constable, is making headlines. Here the constable Jeet Singh is talking about the lack of medical and canteen facilities, he says government school teachers are paid better and wants parity with jawans from the army.
