Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri: As India and Pakistan agree on a ceasefire to de-escalate the tension, Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat has urged the government to reconsider the Agneepath scheme, calling for permanent service and dignity for soldiers.

In a post on social media platform X, Phogat saluted the bravery of Indian Army personnel during Operation Sindoor and urged the government to scrap the four-year service model introduced under the Agneepath recruitment scheme.

"Heartfelt salute to the brave soldiers of the Indian Army. Your bravery, discipline, and patriotism are an inspiration to all of us. You stand firm at the borders in every weather and every situation, so that we can remain safe. The country is proud of you, and we are indebted to you," wrote Vinesh, a Congress-party MLA from Haryana.
