In India, there’s a big political stir over the Agniveer scheme. During this Kargil Vijay Diwas speech, PM Modi claimed that the Agniveer scheme would revolutionize the way youth join the armed forces. However, the opposition is strongly criticizing the Modi government for this plan, with criticism coming from both Parliament and the streets regarding its impact on the army.
