Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri and VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan criticised the Central government’s Agnipath scheme for the military recruitment and demanded its withdrawal.
In a statement, Mr. Alagiri termed the scheme dangerous and said there would be no guarantee for job security. He said it was an ill-conceived scheme, coming as it did when there was tension along India’s borders, a situation that required skilled personnel to handle. He also wondered whether the personnel could work with commitment without job security.
