BHOPAL: The
Madhya Pradesh Congress has announced to felicitate sacked BSF jawan
Tej Bahadur Yadav, who had triggered a political controversy by posting video clip of alleged sub-standard food served to BSF jawans, in social networking sites.
MP Congress president
Arun Yadav
said, on Thursday that the jawan exposed corruption in the forces and hence Congress will honour him for his brave initiative.
"Mother India's brave son Tej Bahadur Yadav, who exposed BSF's corruption in a video will be felicitated by Madhya Pradesh Congress'', tweeted Yadav, on Thursday.
The Congress state head however, did not announce the date on which the dismissed soldier will be honoured.
Congress leader said that the soldier clad in a camouflage uniform and carrying a rifle, had posted a video clip on a social media website in January to complain about the quality of food served to security personnel posted at high altitude. He had accused unnamed officers of illegally selling food supplies meant for the troopers.
Since then, the trooper was facing inquiry on various charges, including indiscipline, and his plea for voluntary retirement was rejected by authorities. On Wednesday, he was dismissed from the service after which he said he will move the high court to secure justice.
