New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet the chiefs of the three services amid protests against the ‘Agnipath’ scheme in many states across the country. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had met with the three army chiefs the day before.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said earlier on Monday that while decisions and reforms may be painful at first, the country will reap the benefits over time.
With Agniveers’ future in mind, the government made a number of significant changes to the plan. The government has issued a notification for the first recruitment of Agnipaths, despite opposition to the scheme.
Last week, the central government implemented the Agneepath scheme. Students and politicians have been protesting the scheme since it was implemented, and this has continued to this day
