Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on June 16 hit out on the central authorities over the ‘Agnipath’ scheme, calling the transfer “negligent” and doubtlessly “fatal” for the nation’s future.
As introduced, ‘Agnipath’ or ‘Agniveer’ is a scheme for recruiting troopers within the Army, Navy and Air pressure, to be employed for a time period of 4 years on contract.
The scheme was introduced by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday.
“The security of the country is not a short-term or informal issue; it expects a very serious and long-term policy. The negligent attitude that is being adopted regarding military recruitment will prove to be fatal when it comes to the protection of the future of the country and the youth,” Mr. Yadav said in a tweet.
“Agnipath se path per agni na ho (‘Agnipath’ must not set the path on fire),” he added in the identical tweet.
