In a series of tweets, Rijiju said the Narendra Modi government was committed to the cause of soldiers and honour of martyrs.
"Pls don't compete to be better dramebaaz? Soldier's issue is too serious. We live closely with soldiers. Do you know about soldier's life?(sic)" Rijiju tweeted.
The Minister of State for Home said people are "tired of vote bank political dramas and sympathy for terrorists".
Rijiju also uploaded pictures of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, saying the issue of 'One Rank, One Pension' was "created" during Indira's rule and she had "removed" the OROP benefits but no one criticised her.

Grewal had gone to Delhi with three of his friends from Bhiwani in the intervening night of October 31 and November 1. On Tuesday evening, he allegedly consumed poisonous tablets leading to his death.
The suicide by the army veteran over OROP snowballed into a huge political show with Rahul, Kejriwal and other opposition leaders attacking the Modi government on the issue while there was high drama after police detained and prevented them from entering a hospital yesterday.
