@ians_india Calling military service a “paid internship” is disrespectful to the dedication and sacrifice of Agniveers. Extending service tenure provides more training, experience and opportunities. Constructive criticism is welcome, but our soldiers' commitment deserves respect.
Our enemies are targeting our military leadership with deep fakes and AI videos. For accurate information do follow @MythbusterXX . Do verify before you share such info - It’s critical for our national security !
Jaihind !
Extending service by two years will give Agniveers more time to serve the nation, gain valuable military experience, strengthen their skills and build a brighter future. Respect, opportunity and recognition for our soldiers!
