On the 25th anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, a significant controversy erupted between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge over the Agnipath scheme.
Kharge accused Modi of engaging in 'petty politics' and spreading lies about the scheme, which aims to reform military recruitment. Modi defended the scheme, stating it was implemented at the Army's behest to maintain a younger military force, a claim Congress labeled a 'blatant lie.' The opposition, including Congress, criticized the scheme for undermining national security and disrespecting the armed forces, demanding its review.
The political clash overshadowed the tributes to the martyrs of the Kargil War, with both sides accusing each other of politicizing the occasion.
