Central govt acting like a copycat, must withdraw Agnipath: D Hooda

Jaipur: Congress party’s Rajya Sabha MP from Haryana Deepender Singh Hooda on Sunday attacked the Union govt over Agnipath scheme, and called it a Nakalchi Bandar, or a copycat, for exporting ideas from foreign nations to draft policies.

The govt has taken the attitude of a ‘Nakalchi Bandar’, But this is Hindustan. Sometimes it gives the example of America in the context of agriculture laws and at other times talks about Israel in reference to military service, he said at a press conference at PCC headquarters here. 

He said that when agriculture laws were being opposed in the country, the govt had cited the example of America, saying corporates there are engaged in agriculture sector in one way or another.

Now the example of Israel is being given with an argument that there is compulsory military service. But this is Hindustan. Situations in Israel and India are different, while demanding from the centre to withdraw the scheme, he said that it will weaken the defence forces.
