Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has hit out at PM Narendra Modi and over the 'Agnipath' scheme said that just as he had to withdraw the farm laws, he will have to accept the demand of the youth and rollback the Agnipath defense recruitment scheme.

Gandhi also said that for eight consecutive years, the BJP government has "insulted" the values of 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan'. In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said, "I had said earlier also that the prime minister will have to withdraw the black farm laws." "In the same manner, he will have to accept the demand of the youth of the country by becoming 'maafiveer' and take back the 'Agnipath' scheme," he said.
