Akhilesh Yadav On Agnipath Protests

A day after several industrial leaders backed the Centre's Agnipath scheme, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday asked them to first employ retired defence personnel to win the confidence of the youth.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday trained his guns on the BJP, alleging that "arbitrary decisions" were being imposed on India causing a loss to the country's energy and manpower.

Urging the protesters to shun violence and get organised so that the government hears them clearly, Rajya Sabha member Jayant Chaudhary said on Friday that the Agnipath scheme will have to be rolled back. "That's the only rational choice."
