BHOPAL
: The state
Congress has announced to felicitate the sacked
BSF jawan,
Tej Bahadur Yadav, who triggered a political storm by posting video clip of alleged sub-standard food served to security personnel through social networks.
MP Congress president Arun Yadav on Thursday said, "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," Yadav tweeted on Thursday. The Congress state head, however, has not announced the date on which the dismissed soldier will be honoured. He said the soldier clad in a camouflage uniform and carrying a rifle had posted a video in January to complain about the quality of food served to security personnel posted at high altitude. He accused unnamed officers of illegally selling food supplies meant for the troopers.
