By Economic Times - 2 months ago
On Friday, Congress criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly politicizing Kargil Vijay Diwas and lying about the Army's endorsement of the Agnipath scheme. Modi, in his address, defended the scheme, emphasizing its necessity for military reform and youth recruitment. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused Modi of disrespecting martyrs and misleading the public. They highlighted that former Army chief General MM Naravane had expressed surprise at the scheme, which they argue is detrimental to national security and the aspirations of rural youth. Congress demands the scheme be scrapped.
