Cong demands Agnipath scheme rollback, regular Army recruitment
  • 'AGNIPATH SCHEME NOT IN INTEREST OF YOUTH, COUNTRY'

Addressing a press conference in Delhi, party leader Deepender Hooda said for the past few days, there have been reports that a lot of flaws related to the Agnipath scheme are being mentioned in the Army’s internal survey and various suggestions have come out.

He said different newspapers have published how shortcomings can be rectified in the recruitment scheme. Some things that have come out include extending the duration of Agnipath by four years and instead of retaining 25 per cent in Agnipath, 60-70 per cent Agniveers should be retained besides increasing the training period of Agniveers, added Hooda.
