New Delhi: No youngster taking part in the ongoing violent protests against the Agnipath scheme will be inducted into the armed forces, the military establishment warned on Sunday, stressing there will be no rollback of the new recruitment process that will kick off next week with the training of Agniveers to begin in November-December.
Additional secretary in the defence ministry's department of military affairs Lt General Anil Puri blamed "inimical elements and coaching centres" preparing youth for military recruitment for inciting protests against the scheme.
He maintained the various concessions being announced for the 75% of Agniveers to be demobilised from each batch after four-year tenures, including 10% reservation in the central armed police forces, Assam Rifles, Coast Guard and 16 defence PSUS, were not under duress. "They were planned in advance," he said. Rajat Pandit reports.
