Former Army Chief General Manoj Naravane defended the new Agnipath scheme for the recruitment of soldiers, stating that HR policies in any organization undergo changes. He emphasized the need to give the new policy a chance to establish itself and make mid-course corrections if necessary. Former Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria and Former Navy Chief Karambir Singh also supported the policy, highlighting the importance of success and long-term commitment.
