The BJP has urged the Election Commission to take strict action against Rahul Gandhi for his remarks accusing the Modi government of creating two categories of soldiers based on family backgrounds. Senior BJP leaders, including S Jaishankar and Arjun Ram Meghwal, lodged a complaint with the EC, calling Gandhi's comments an attack on the armed forces and a matter of national security. They demanded that Gandhi retract his comments and warned against politicizing issues related to the military. Jaishankar criticized Gandhi for previous remarks against the armed forces, emphasizing the need to respect and support them.
