Spokesperson: Colonel (Retd) Rohit Chaudhary: He said at the beginning of 2024, first of all I salute the soldiers deployed on the borders of our country. On behalf of the Congress Party, I pay tribute to the martyrdom of our 104 brave soldiersin 137 incidents during different terrorist incidents in the year 2023 and while on duty at the border. Today’s issue is very serious. ‘Agniveer’ soldiers are being recruited under the ‘Agneepath’ scheme, this is a big mess with the security system of the country. It has two big aspects – ‘Agneepath’ Scheme came in June 2022. Due to this, the security of the country is weakening and the number of permanent soldiers of the country is decreasing. Till May 31, about 1.5 lakh youth were selected candidates in the defense website, but in one stroke, the Modi government has decided that now you cannot be the soldiers of the country.

Similarly, there were 7,000 youth in the Air Force, who had completed all their processes and were just waiting for the joining letter. But it was not given to them. The saddest thing is that 64 youths who were waiting for their reinstatement committed suicide after being hurt by this decision of the Modi government. Who is responsible for the suicide of these 64 children? - Tuesday, January 2, 2024.
