Varun Gandhi urges students protesting against ‘Agnipath’ scheme to follow path of non-violence

Extending support to students protesting the ‘Agnipath’ defence recruitment scheme, BJP MP Varun Gandhi on June 17 urged them to follow the path of non-violence, saying it is morally wrong for those wanting to become soldiers to damage public properties when soldiers’ top priority is to put national interest first.

"You must fight for your rights but with peace and harmony," he said in a video message amid widespread protests against the new recruitment policy for armed forces. Angry protestors have damaged public assets at many places across the country.
