Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has once again targeted the Modi government over the Agnipath scheme saying it will weaken the army.

Addressing party workers at rally at AICC headquarters , Rahul said , They are weakening the Army of the nation and they say they are nationalists. PM Narendra Modi will have to roll back the Agnipath Scheme. The young in India are aware that true patriotism is required to strengthen the nation. We’ll make sure the scheme is repealed.

Slamming the BJP , the Gandhi scion said, They (BJP) used to talk about ‘one rank, one pension, but now there’s ‘no rank and no pension’. The young will toil hard and will go back to their homes. Once they retire, they won’t get any employment.

After he was grilled for five days in The National Herald case by Enforcement Directorate, Gandhi took a jibe at ED in light vein, saying, n the last day, they (ED officials) asked me about the patience with which I gave all the answers (during questioning)…I was like, I’m in Congress since 2004, patience is inculcated in usevery leader of party understands this.
