The Wire spreads false info about martyr BSF jawan’s family not receiving compensation, PIB fact checks-

In yet another attempt to mislead the public, The Wire published a report claiming that a martyred BSF Jawan has not received any compensation from the government. Responding to this, the fact-checking arm of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) rebutted this fake news peddled by the leftist portal.

 

 

PIB informed that the family of the said BSF personnel, Ranjit Yadav, who was killed in action in Manipur, had already received the Rs 16 lakh compensation, which was guaranteed under the ‘Golden Jubilee Seema Prahari Kalyan Kavach Yojana.’

 

“The Wire has claimed that martyred BSF Jawan Ranjit Yadav’s family has not received any compensation. #PIBFactCheck. This claim is #Fake. Family of late BSF Jawan received the entitled compensation from Golden Jubilee Seema Prahari Kalyan Kavach Yojana of ₹ 16 lakh,” it emphasised.

 

 

The leftist propaganda outlet, on Friday, published a report wherein it claimed, "Border Security Forces jawan Ranjit Yadav’s family still awaits any compensation from the Union and state governments."

 

The article, written by one Yaqut Ali, further alleged, "Kaushalya had approached the Manipur government twice for compensation. But says that she hasn’t received any money, from either the state government or the Union government, yet."
