AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the Central government on Friday for failing to make Agniveers a ‘permanent’ part of the Army. The remarks came after IAF chief marshal AP Singh indicated that the Air Force could absorb more than 25% of the military aspirants.
“When the force is ready and there is a need, then why doesn’t the central government make more Agniveers permanent?” Kejriwal sought to know.
The remarks came as a direct response to an assertion by IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh earlier this week.
“Our feedback on Agniveers has been very positive. We were asked if we could absorb more than 25% Agniveer and we said that we could. The decision has to be taken by the government,” he had said during a recent press conference.
