Bharatiya Janata Party is trying to create a Rashtriya Swayam Sevak military by implementing Agnipath scheme, alleged the Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary K. Balakrishnan.
Addressing a protest organised by the party here on Tuesday, he said that the BJP government that has been on a privatisation spree of public sector units, including railways, was now trying to hire youths on four year contract in the defence sector.
Stating that law and order in the State would become worse if the State government decided to hire police personnel for four years only, he said what would happen if the same is done in the defence forces.
"What will those youths do for their livelihood after coming out of armed forces on completion of their four-year service?" he asked.
He cautioned that these youths, hired for short term, would not be ready to fight in the borders in the event of a war and it would create confusion in the armed forces.
