Mounting a fresh attack on the Agnipath recruitment scheme for the armed forces, the Congress on Monday asserted that it would revert back to the old system of recruitment if the party comes to power at the Centre.
The party also demanded regular employment for about two lakh youth, who had cleared the recruitment process but were not given their appointment letters as the government launched the Agnipath scheme in 2022.
Calling it “gross injustice”, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to President Droupadi Murmu as the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces and and urged her to ensure justice for them.
