No rollback of Agnipath: MoD downplays protests

Downplaying the violent protests against the Agnipath recruitment scheme that continue to rock Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Bihar, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Sunday fielded the military's top manpower planners in a press conference to send out the message: "Agnipath is here to stay."

Meanwhile, as many as 35 WhatsApp groups that were allegedly spreading fake news about the Agnipath military recruitment scheme were on Sunday banned by the government, officials said.

Lieutenant General Anil Puri, additional secretary in the Department of Military Affairs (DMA), who was at the forefront of conceiving and structuring the Agnipath Yojana and is now the military's frontman in defending the scheme, told the press conference in Delhi: "The Agnipath scheme will not be rolled back. Why should it be rolled back?"
