"Don't Put A Time Limit On Dreams." Arvind Kejriwal On 'Agnipath'

In a series of tweets, Arvind Kejriwal extended his support to the Army aspirants who are protesting against the scheme.

Amid protests in several states over the recently announced Agnipath scheme, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today urged the centre not to limit the service period for the new recruits in the armed forces to just four years. सेना भर्ती में केंद्र सरकार की नई योजना का देश में हर तरफ़ विरोध हो रहा है। युवा बहुत नाराज़ हैं। उनकी माँग एकदम सही हैं।सेना हमारे देश की शान है, हमारे युवा अपना पूरा जीवन देश को देना चाहते हैं, उनके सपनों को 4 साल में बांधकर मत रखिए।1/2

With this, Mr Kejriwal has joined the growing list of politicians who have condemned the scheme, under which soldiers will be recruited in the armed forces as 'Agniveers' on a contractual basis for a four-year period, followed by compulsory retirement for most without gratuity and pension benefits.
