Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on June 16 hit out at the central government over the ‘Agnipath’ scheme, calling the move “negligent” and potentially “fatal” for the country’s future.
As announced, 'Agnipath' or 'Agniveer' is a scheme for recruiting soldiers in the Army, Navy and Air force, to be hired for a term of four years on contract.
The scheme was announced by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday.
