NEW DELHI: National Students' Union of India (NSUI) National President, Varun Choudhary appealed to all political parties to withdraw the Agneepath scheme in the army. The scheme was proposed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
According to the official press release, NSUI urges all political leaders and parties to listen to the voices of the youth and take immediate steps to revoke the Agneepath scheme. They said that this action is not a political necessity but a moral obligation to protect India's future generations.
"The dreams and aspirations of millions of young Indians are at stake. The Agneepath scheme undermines the future of our youth and the integrity of our armed forces," Varun Choudhary said.
"It is imperative that we, as a nation, prioritise the welfare and ambitions of our young citizens. The collective voice of the youth has clearly voted against this plan, and it is now the responsibility of all non-BJP parties to take decisive action," he further said.
Choudhary emphasized that the youth vote is crucial for the country's future. "The non-BJP parties must come together to secure the confidence and support of the youth. By standing against the Agneepath scheme, we can show our commitment to safeguarding their dreams and ensuring a better future for all,” Choudhary said.
The Agneepath Scheme is a government programme introduced by the central government, which aims to select candidates for a four-year commitment to the Indian Armed Forces such as the Indian Army, the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force.
