“PM Modi Will Have To Withdraw Agnipath Like Farm Laws”: Rahul Gandhi Makes Another Prediction

The recruitment policy that has tarnished the dreams of the youth has broken the “spine of the country,” Cong. Opposition, Rahul Gandhi said.

New Delhi: Opposition head and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that the centre was “weakening” the armed forces through the freshly launched Agnipath military recruitment scheme.

Rahul added that Prime Minister Modi will have to revert the military recruitment scheme in the same way the farm laws were rolled back.

In the public statement the leader also expressed his gratitude to the party workers for their relentless support when the leader was grilled this week at the enforcement directorate’s office.

Rahul further added that, he did not feel alone when he was being questioned but all those battling for the spirit of democracy were with him.

Rahul who addressed the party legislators that assembled at the Congress office in Delhi to express support to him today, added that the government has broken the “spine of the country” by harming small businesses and threatening the nation off jobs and opportunities.

He added that the government and PM Modi has “handed the country to two-three industrialists” and now the last resort of jobs in the army has also been “closed”.

“They used to talk of ‘one rank, one pension’, now they have come up with ‘no rank, no pension’,” he added.

He claimed that the Chinese army is “sitting on our land” and said that the army should be fortified immediately but the administration was “weakening it”.

“When there is a war, the results of this will be evident…they are weakening the army, it will harm the country and they call themselves nationalists,” Rahul Gandhi commented.

“I had said about farm laws that Modi ji will have to take them back and he did. Now, the Congress is saying Prime Minister Modi will have to withdraw the ‘Agnipath’ scheme and all the youth are standing with us on this,” he said.
