Jun 16, 2022

New Delhi, June 16 (ANI): Congress leader P Chidambaram, while addressing a Press Conference on June 16 in Delhi, said that the ‘Agnipath’ Scheme is controversial, carries multiple risks, subverts the long-standing traditions and ethos of armed forces and there’s no guarantee that soldiers recruited under the scheme will be better trained and motivated to defend the country. “We have read and heard the views expressed by retired Defence officers. Almost unanimously they have opposed the scheme and we believe that many serving officers share the same reservations about this scheme,” he said.
