Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized the Centre's Agniveer scheme, stating that training soldiers for six months and allowing them to serve for 3-4 years dilutes the quality of training and professional opportunities available to the Indian Army. Tharoor believes this approach is deeply damaging and is solely driven by cost-saving measures on pensions. The Congress party plans to scrap the scheme if they come to power.
