In conversation with Zee News, I shared my concern on the impassioned appeal by the Indian Army to Sikh youth. We must adopt a multi-pronged strategy with stronger engagement and extending Agniveer tenure from 4 to 7–8 years where we are facing deficiency like in Sikh Regiment Sikhs are just 2% of India’s population, yet have historically formed nearly 15% of the Army — a legacy of unmatched valour and sacrifice. State Police, CRPF and other paramilitary forces must proactively absorb Agniveers, ensuring continuity for them while leveraging the disciplined military training they already posses Simultaneously, more Sikh youth should pursue direct officer-level entry through NDA and similar pathways, strengthening leadership representation in our armed forces. @zeePunjabHH @adgpi @rajnathsingh @BhagwantMann
