Even as the Union home ministry and BSF are trying to tackle with the awkward situation when a BSF Jawan Tej Bahadur took on Facebook to share about the inhuman conditions they live in - now, another video by Constable Jeet Singh of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has gone viral.

In a new video addressed to the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a CRPF soldier deployed at Mount Abu addressed the issue of discrimination between the army and paramilitary forces. He says, "We do as many hours of duty as the Indian army, so why do we have the difference in the facilities provided to them? Teachers are paid handsomely at Rs50-60,000 and are also granted leaves during festivals while we are serving in the forests of Chattisgarh, Jammu and Kashmir with no leaves."

Commenting on the pension and other medical facilities granted to the army officials. "We are not granted any welfare or pension. Nobody understands our pain. After we finish our service in 20 years, we aren't entitled to get ex-servicemen quota, medical or any other privileges."

It is to be seen how the home ministry reacts to these revelations. Reports out today also mention that Jawan Tej Bahadur has been harassed by the authorities to tender an apology. This was released in an audio clip released by his wife.

Will this message be suppressed or will Modi address the issue of the jawans protecting our borders, let's wait and watch.
