'Agniveers like Abe shooter': TMC sees Agnipath shadow in ex-Japan PM’s killing

Published on Jul 10, 2022 08:36 am IST

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress has linked the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to Agnipath scheme. In its mouthpiece Jago Bangla, the Trinamool Congress — which publicly opposed the scheme after protests broke out over it last month — claimed that Abe’s assassin, who the police have identified as Tetsuya Yamagami, had worked in Japan’s maritime self-defence for three years without pension. The report, carried on Jago Bangla’s front-page under the headline ‘Agnipath shadow in Shinzo’s killing’, further added that, 'like Abe’s assassin, Agniveer who would be chucked out of a job with no pension after four years of service and can suffer from similar depression.' BJP has lashed out at Mamata Banerjee, calling her anti-national for doing petty politics over ex-Japanese PM's murder. Watch this report to know more
