Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday urged the Centre to give up the Agnipath scheme, saying it was “against the interest of the nation and would dash the hope of the youth for military service.”
“Give up the scheme in view of the security of the country,” Mr. Stalin said in a statement. He said protests by youth were raging all over the country against the “recruitment for the army on contract basis” and pointed out “the objections raised by former Army officers, who have concerns for the nation’s security.”
