New Delhi: The Supreme Court agreed to hear a plea challenging the central government’s military recruitment scheme, the Agnipath scheme next week. The hearing will take place next week when the court resumes after vacation.
The Public interest litigation filed in the apex Court is related to the Agnipath scheme where the Air Force aspirants said their career will be cut short from 20 years to 4 years.
Advocate ML Sharma said, “My plea is about the cancellation of the notification put out by the government. The government can bring out any scheme but it is about right and wrong. More than 70,000 are still awaiting appointment letters”.
Meanwhile, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday noted that the party plans to send cheques and demand drafts for Rs 420 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a form of their protest against the Agnipath military recruitment scheme.
