The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) will hold protests across Tamil Nadu on Monday against the Agnipath scheme, unveiled by the BJP government.
Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, Congress deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, Gourav Gogoi said the scheme was brought in only because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ego and that the Prime Minister had not uttered a word despite several protests by youngsters against the scheme.
Mr. Gogoi said the government was trying to implement the scheme just to save on pension and did not seem to be bothered about the external threats India was facing at its borders.
