Amidst the ruckus over the Agneepath scheme, industrialist Anand Mahindra has announced that he will recruit ‘Agniveers’ after four years of service in the Army. Expressing grief over the ongoing violence over the ‘Agneepath’ scheme, Anand Mahindra has described the training given to Agniveers as special. Now actor Kamal R Khan has taken a dig at this.
Kamal R Khan wrote on Twitter that ‘Anand Mahindra ji can you please tell us how many ex-army jawans have you hired during the last 10 years?’ In another tweet, Kamal R. Khan took a jibe at Anand Mahindra.
Kamal R Khan wrote that ‘Look at this! They have such huge contracts. If Mr. Anand Mahindra does not do the courtship, then all the contracts will be lost!’ Along with this tweet, KRK has also shared the news related to the contract awarded to Mahindra.
People are giving their reactions on this on social media. Shailendra Singh wrote that they are talking forward and you are talking backwards, progress, move forward. One user wrote that ‘This is not Pakistan or Afghanistan, this is new India and we are self-reliant in these matters. We don’t have to look to Russia and America for small things.

Alok Pandey wrote that ‘Whoever has money / experience / man power, he will get the contract. You should also fill the tender next time. Who has stopped? If you get the contract, then you will also be called as a supporter of the government according to the current trend. A user replied and wrote that ‘He did not discuss about the past, he has given assurance for his future as Agneepath scheme will provide well trained and disciplined manpower.’
Let us tell you that there is a protest all over the country regarding the Agneepath scheme. The youth say that if they retire after four years of service, then where will they get a job. On this, Anand Mahindra tweeted and said that ‘I am saddened by the ongoing protest regarding the Agneepath program. Last year when the scheme was considered, I had said and I reiterated that the discipline and skills that Agniveer will learn will make him particularly employable. Mahindra Group welcomes this opportunity to recruit such trained, capable youth.
