Congress’ Politicization of Agniveer Scheme Threatens National Unity: Abhijeet Jasrotia

JAMMU, December 17: The Agniveer scheme, a commendable initiative by the Indian Army aimed at bolstering the nation’s defense forces, has unfortunately become entangled in the web of political maneuvering, with the Congress party at the forefront of attempts to politicize a critical national security endeavor.

Abhijeet Jasrotia said that The historical context is glaring, with the Congress party, known for its divisive stance, now accused of undermining the very essence of the Agniveer scheme. Instances where the party questioned the credibility of significant military operations, such as the Balakot and Uri surgical strikes, resurface, raising concerns about its commitment to national security.

The immeasurable debt owed to the motherland is seemingly overshadowed by political posturing, as the Congress party continues to stand against the defense forces, jeopardizing the unity required in times of national significance. The blatant attempts to demoralize the nation’s youth by politicizing an initiative designed to strengthen our security apparatus are regrettable.

In defense of the Agniveer scheme, it is crucial to recognize its inherent value in instilling discipline and preparing individuals for contemporary global challenges. However, the Congress party’s actions threaten to divert attention from the scheme’s fundamental purpose, focusing instead on petty political gains.

As citizens, we must prioritize national unity over political posturing. The politicization of the Agniveer scheme by the Congress party is not just a disservice to the defense forces but a betrayal of the nation’s interests. It’s time for political parties to rise above their partisan agendas and unite in supporting initiatives that enhance our security and strengthen our resolve as a nation said Abhijeet Jasrotia spokesperson for BJP..
