In a social media post today, the Congress said the government "will have to stop the Agnipath scheme also".
Reports about the government's plan to tweak the rules of Agnipath, the short-service Commission plan in the armed forces, have drawn a sharp reaction from the Congress. In a social media post today, the party said the government "will have to stop the Agnipath scheme also".
"If they don't do this, we will stop it. There is news that changes will be made in the Agnipath scheme due to pressure from the opposition. It is possible that after four years of service, the number of Agniveers getting permanent jobs will increase from 25% to 50%. But... This is not enough," read a post from the Congress on X, formerly Twitter.
"The Agniveer scheme is against the army. This is a betrayal of the youth of the country. It is a tampering with national security. Right now we have been forced to reconsider, but we will not rest until we finish it," the party had added.
