New Delhi: Hitting out at the Modi government over the Agnipath military recruitment scheme, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that this scheme was formulated in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office and imposed on the armed forces.
Gandhi said that as soon as the INDIA bloc’s government is formed at the Centre, the Agnipath military scheme will be scrapped and the old permanent recruitment process be brought back.
In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, “The Agnipath scheme is an insult to the Indian Army and the brave youth who dream of protecting the country. This is not a scheme of the Indian Army but a scheme that was formulated in Narendra Modi’s office which has been imposed on the Army.”
