New Delhi: The BJP has hit out at opposition parties over the political debate over filling up caste and religion columns from people applying for the Agnipath scheme. Yes, and now on this issue, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra has told the opposition a bitter truth. In fact, he said, "This is an old system. Even in 2013, a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court, to which the Army responded by saying that it was just a process. There was a UPA government at that time, but even after that, it is not proper to bring the Army into the ground and defame them.'' The Army has clearly stated that religion has no place in our recruitment, but in war, if someone is unfortunately martyred, it is needed during his last rites. Knowing this, the question raised by Sanjay Singh and the leaders of other parties is unbearable.
At the same time, he further said- "The process of recruitment in the army was done before independence, but now there is deliberate politics about it. No change in the old process has been made by the Modi government. Even after this, confusion is being spread deliberately so that there is arson on the road. The illusion is being spread that the country should be divided on the basis of caste and politics should be done. Arvind Kejriwal is the man who also questioned the surgical strike and the air strike.'' At the same time, amid all this, the army has also responded to the allegations of political parties. In fact, army officials say, "There is nothing new in it. If necessary, caste and religion certificates have been submitted from the candidates in the past.''
Apart from this, the Army says, "Recruits who die during training and soldiers who are martyred in service are cremated as part of religious rituals. In such a situation, information about their religion is needed.'' On the other hand, Tejashwi Yadav said in a tweet, "For 75 years after independence, the Agnipath system on a contract was not in force in the Army. After being recruited into the army, 75% of the soldiers were not retrenched, but the hardcore casteist government of the Union will now lay off 75% of the soldiers by looking at the caste/religion. When there is no reservation in the army, what is the need for a caste certificate?''
