PM Narendra Modi, while addressing the nation from the Kargil War Memorial on Vijay Dias, ensured that the new recruitment model known as the Agni path scheme is in a nutshell designed to rejuvenate India’s armed forces.
Responding to calls led by the opposition and some allies of the NDA insisting on fresh contemplation of the Agni path scheme, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a fight on Friday, defended the military recruitment policy by stating that the policy was trenchant at rejuvenating the armed forces and maintaining a continual state of preparedness for war.
The Congress, however, remained adamant on their demand of axing the scheme launched by the Center in 2022.
Speaking at a function at Dra’s in Ladakh on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Dias, which celebrated its 25th anniversary of the event, the PM levied political charges on the opposition to the sensitive issue linked with the country’s security.
“Some anti-national elements are misleading people with the wrong propensity to assume that the government has introduced this scheme to save pension money.
In future, pensions for today’s recruits will be an issue after 30 years. Why should the government of the day take a decision on that? Now it should have waited for there to be other governments. ‘These are primarily decisions to serve the ‘restrained’ and not ‘Ranjeet’,” PM Modi stated.
