'Agnipath' has deeper meanings than just building careers: Kangana Ranaut

New Delhi: Actor Kangana Ranaut lauded the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre over 'Agnipath' scheme and said the new recruitment scheme in forces has deeper meanings than just building careers.

The 'Dhaakad' actress took to Instagram and wrote, "Many nations like Israel have made army training compulsory for all their youth, few years every one gives to the army to learn life values like discipline, nationalism and what it means to guard your country's borders. The Agnipath scheme has deeper meanings than just getting building careers, employment or making money."

"In olden days everyone went to Gurukul it's almost like that it's just that they getting paid to do it, shocking percentage of youth that's getting destroyed in drugs and PUBG needs these reforms... Appreciate the government for taking these initiatives," she added.

Massive protests have erupted across the country following the government's announcement of the new recruitment scheme Agnipath for the forces, where youth would be hired for four years into the three wings of the armed forces as 'Agniveers'.

On the film front, she will be next seen as an Indian Air Force pilot in ‘Tejas’. (UNI)
