The BJP-led government at the Centre is solely to blame for the rising protests across the country to the Agnipath scheme, the Communist Party of India (CPI) said on Friday, demanding that the ‘controversial’ scheme be withdrawn forthwith.
Addressing a press meet at the party office on Friday, CPI national secretary K. Narayana called the decision to contractualise the recruitments into the armed forces was an ‘insensitive move that poured water on the aspirations of the youth’.
