The Punjab Assembly has passed a resolution against the Agnipath scheme in the Vidhan Sabha. Earlier, on Tuesday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said that the Centre’s military recruitment initiative will destroy the basic fabric of the Indian Army.

As the Punjab Assembly passed the resolution, BJP legislators Ashwani Sharma and Jagni Lala Mahajan opposed the decision of the resolution. Notably, the resolution was moved in Vidhan Sabha by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

CM Bhagwant Mann also participated in the discussion on the resolution and said that he will soon raise the issue of the Agnipath scheme with the prime minister and the Union home minister.

Mann said that this scheme was against the country’s youth. Other leaders of the opposition and Congress legislator Pratap Singh Bajwa also demanded that the Agnipath scheme should be withdrawn. Moreover, Akali MLA Manpreet Singh Ayali also came in support of the resolution and demanded that the scheme should be rolled back.

While reading the resolution, Mann said that the unilateral announcement of the Agnipath scheme by the Government of India has witnessed widespread reactions in all states, including Punjab.

Mann also said that the youth of Punjab consider serving in the Indian Armed forces of the nation for a lifetime. He further said that the youth of Punjab consider serving in the Indian Armed Forces as a matter of pride and honour and are renowned for their valour and courage.
