Akhilesh Yadav, Anurag Thakur clash in Lok Sabha over Agnipath scheme

Thakur retorted by highlighting his own military service, "I have served as a captain. Akhilesh ji, don't just preach. Sitting with Rahul Gandhi has made you accustomed to spreading rumours and lies." In a final rebuttal, Yadav suggested that Thakur's defensiveness stemmed from political insecurity.
