Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann demands immediate rollback of Agnipath scheme

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday asked the central government for an immediate rollback of the Agnipath scheme.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday condemned the central government’s Agnipath scheme and demanded its immediate rollback. He called the scheme a “retrogressive step” and asked the Centre to take back its decision in the interest of the country and its youth.

“It is a serious attack on the youth which is unwarranted and undesirable. It is a huge loss for the Punjabi youth who are always ready to serve their motherland by joining the Army,” said the chief minister.

Bhagwant Mann said that it reflects the sorry state of affairs in the country as the party in power is recklessly running the country without bothering about its youth. He said the government’s decision has created turmoil in the country as young people have taken to the streets to protest the scheme.

Mann said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) vehemently opposes the government’s move which deprives the youth of the opportunity to serve the country throughout their lives and renders them useless after service of a mere four years.
