Stamina surprised ED, said I practise Vipassana: Rahul

Accusing the Centre of weakening the armed forces with the Agnipath scheme, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the government has gutted the source of mass job creation by "destroying" the "country's backbone MSMES", while the defence recruitment plan will also rob the Indian youth of their key employment avenue.

New Delhi: He said it was happening when China is occupying Indian land, and it will have an implication on any future war.

Referring to his marathon ED grilling over five days, Rahul said even the agency realised that Congress and its leaders could not be scared through coercive action because they espouse the truth.

Rahul addressed a gathering of legislators and senior leaders who were called from states for a function at the AICC headquarters, where the party targeted the controversial scheme and slammed the BJP for political vendetta. Congress will hold a nationwide protest in all assembly constituencies against Agnipath on June 27.
