Why the LoP Rahul Gandhi is Calling the CAPF Bill ‘Ridiculous’ | Parliament Budget Session

a Naxalite IED blast, Gandhi argues that the new legislation institutionalizes discrimination against CAPF personnel. He also spoke about how the government, despite his request, introduced the bill when he was in Assam. He added that he sent a message to postpone the debate so that he can participate but the bill was introduced anyway.

Key highlights from Rahul Gandhi’s statement:

The "IPS vs. CAPF" Crisis: Gandhi highlights how the Bill reserves top leadership positions for IPS officers, effectively blocking the promotion paths of career CAPF jawans.
Supreme Court Conflict: He points out that the government is pushing this Bill to bypass recent Supreme Court rulings that favored the rights of paramilitary cadre officers.
"Institutional Betrayal": Gandhi frames the Bill as a morale-breaker, warning that when the country's security forces feel "betrayed," the foundation of national security shakes.
The Congress Guarantee: A clear declaration that if a Congress-led government comes to power, they will repeal this legislation to ensure merit-based leadership.
