Agneepath scheme protesters attack school bus & ambulance, what makes us think they will safeguard this country?
Youth will be recruited for armed forces through this scheme.
The Agneepath protests have seen a sudden but major uproar throughout the country despite the scheme being in favor of the youth which shows how misinformation is one of the major chaos-creating factors in this country.
However the youth had a legitimate question of job security, it must be noted that they would even be receiving education as well as training even after we sideline the monetary benefits of monthly salary, end of tenure bonus, and the insurance.
These youth not only will be able to get boot money for their future life endeavors in whatever stream they choose, but also training + heads-up if they wish to continue to serve the army.
In the wake of massive protests against the Agnipath scheme, the Centre on Saturday even announced 10% reservation for Agniveers in the recruitment of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and Assam Rifles.
Alongside, the Ministry of Home Affairs also decided to give three years of age relaxation in its 17.5-21 years eligibility criteria for recruitment of Agniveers in CAPFs and Assam Rifles. Notably, the first batch of recruits will get a relaxation of five years beyond the prescribed upper age limit.
Considering all these exceptions being made, the nuisance creators must be called out and booked as they destroy government properties worth crores, not to forget even school buses and ambulances were attacked.
Even General VP Malik, the Army chief during the Kargil war in 1999 said that agitators who indulged in goondaism, burning trains and buses, are not the people we would like to have in the armed forces as we are not interested in recruiting hooligans responsible for the violence.
Somehow they want to make us believe that people who are attacking security forces and destroying the property of civilians want to serve this country? Ironic much?
Can't really say if this protest is politically motivated but for sure BJP never learns from its mistakes and continues to repeat its disinformation spree + communication gap where the people affected by their new laws/schemes NEVER know the facts about it and end up with no other option but to protest.
