PM Modi said on the Agneepath scheme that the aim of Agneepath is to make the army young and keep it constantly fit for war. Unfortunately, such a sensitive issue related to national security has been made a subject of politics, some people are doing politics on this army reform for their personal benefit. These are the same people who weakened our forces by committing scams worth thousands of crores in the forces, these are the same people who wanted the Air Force to never get modern fighter planes, these are the same people who tried to put the high-speed fighter plane in the can.
What argument is the opposition giving?
The PM further said that the truth is that the strength of the country will increase with the Agneepath scheme, the capable youth of the country will also come forward to serve the motherland. The private sector has also come forward to give priority to Agniveers, what has happened to the thinking of some people, they are spreading the misconception that the government has come up with this scheme to save pension money. I get a little confused by the thinking of such people, someone tell me, should the people who will be recruited today in Modi's rule, be given pension today itself, will they get pension after 30 years, at that time Modi will be 105 years old, for that today Modi will be abused. What argument are you giving.
Country is supreme for me: Modi
Modi said in Kargil that 25% of research and development in the defense sector has been reserved for the private sector. India's defense production has now crossed Rs 1.25 lakh crore. India was once known for importing weapons. Our forces have made a list of more than 5 thousand weapons and military equipment and decided that these 5 thousand items will no longer be imported. I congratulate the army leadership for this. I also want to praise the Indian armed forces for reforms in the defense sector. Our forces have taken many bold decisions in the past years.
The reason for this bold decision of the army is also the Agneepath scheme. The average age of Indian soldiers being higher than the global average has been a cause of concern for all of us. Therefore, this issue has been raised in many committees for years, but the will to solve this challenge related to the security of the country was not shown earlier. Perhaps the mentality of some people was such that the army means saluting the leaders and parading, for us the army means the trust of 140 crore people, it is the guarantee of peace of 140 crore countrymen, the army means the guarantee of the security of the country's borders. Modi further said that for me the country is supreme.
