As per news report of NDTV, Pramod Kumar, who holds the law portfolio, made a declamation to the effect outside the state assembly, giving vent to his frustration over the adjournment of proceedings on account of a ruckus created by the opposition which has been demanding withdrawal of the new scheme. "Agniveers are at work in more than a dozen countries. Many multinational (sic) countries have this scheme", said the minister, apparently referring to many major powers having adopted a system of contractual recruitment in lower ranks of armed forces.
