Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee observed peaceful Satyagraha on June 27, 2022, at Itanagar to strongly protest the recently announced Agnipath scheme, subverting the long-standing traditions and ethos of the armed forces, and also devaluing their morale by the BJP Government.

This ill-conceived scheme bulldozed by the BJP Government without any wider consultations has angered a large number of youths who dream to join the armed forces. The BJP is playing with India’s security and the future of the youth. Agnipath scheme not only compromises our national security, it is also a cruel joke on our youth by the Modi Government.

The Indian National Congress, carrying the proud legacy of fighting to protect our national interests, from day one, opposed this scheme, exposing its far-reaching impact on national security and the morale of our armed forces. Congress stands firmly with the youth and will raise voice by the path of truth, non-violence and peace for immediate rollback & scrap of this scheme by the BJP Government.
