Watch: Dismissed BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav says justice was denied

Tej Bahadur Yadav, the BSF jawan who had posted a video on social media about the poor quality of food being served to jawans, was dismissed from the Border Security Force recently. He said he was sad about his dismissal and that he paid the price for being honest.

He claimed that the condition of food in all the wings of the military was pathetic and senior officials were responsible for it.

In a video, he said that almost 50 per cent of the senior officials were responsible for the deplorable food condition and they did not care about jawans. He added that he was denied justice and would move high court.

BSF jawan's Facebook video raises uncomfortable questions about governance

Breaking news - If Twitter popularity was to decide who India’s most efficient cabinet ministers are, then there would be a tough competition between minister for external affairs, Sushma Swaraj and the minister for railways, Suresh Prabhu. While Swaraj has often come to help Indians (at home or abroad) in times of distress, Prabhu has been more than willing to help resolve issues that passengers may face. They revel in their roles as customer service executives and Twitter can’t appreciate it enough.

Yesterday, we saw disturbing videos posted by a BSF jawan of the 29th battalion, Tej Bahadur Yadav of the kind of food that jawans are served on the border, even as they work in really tough circumstances. The jawan asked social media to help take his messages to the prime minister. He asserted that while the government provided everything and the stores were full of provisions, these were not provided to serving jawans by corrupt officers of the BSF. Yadav’s video juxtaposed the tough conditions - sub-zero temperatures - that he (and others) had to serve in with the kind of food they were served. The videos rightly led to an outrage on social media and the home minister, Rajnath Singh sought a report from the BSF on the issue.(Read More)
