โ€œStop Playing With Future Of The Countryโ€: Rahul Gandhi Hits Out At PM Modi Over Unemployment

Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over record unemployment saying the government should focus on eradicating unemployment, and not on โ€˜jumlasโ€™.

โ€œThe wrong policies of the Modi government and neglect towards the youth have brought a tsunami of unemployment in the country. Educated youth, with degree in hand, is forced to wander from door to door. Today the country has the highest unemployment in 45 years,โ€ the former Congress President wrote on his Facebook.

โ€œThe number of registrations of unemployed people has already doubled. With the dream of serving the country for years, and joining the army, the youth are now being forced to become โ€˜Agniveerโ€™ on a 4-year contract. Vacant posts in the central government are not being filled, employment is not getting in the private sector also,โ€ Rahul Gandhi said,  accusing the Prime Minister of drowning โ€œthe youth in the pit of despairโ€.

โ€œIt is the duty of the BJP government to provide employment to the youth. The government should focus on eradicating unemployment, not on โ€˜jumlasโ€™,โ€ the Gandhi scion said.

โ€œStop playing with the future of the country, Prime Minister,โ€ Mr Gandhi said.

Khaps, Farmer Unions and student organizations to unanimously oppose the freshly launched military recruitment scheme.

Chandigarh: Issuing an open challenge to the governmentโ€™s freshly reformed military recruitment scheme, Khap panchayat leaders, farmer union representatives and student organizations declared today that they will isolate the families of youths who apply under the Agnipath scheme to join the Armed forces.

The groups came to the decision that a public boycott will be in effect on politicians from the BJP-JJP coalition, and officials from corporate organizations that have been in favor of the freshly launched military recruitment scheme.

The centre-launched scheme called โ€˜Agnipath โ€™provoked violent demonstrations and protests across the country this week. The scheme that was recently reformed only offered 4 years of service, with no pension or post-tenure benefits.

On Wednesday spokespersons of various Khaps, leaders from student organizations, community leaders from Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and Haryana met at Sampla Town in Haryanaโ€™s Rohtak district to discuss the issue.

Om Prakash Dhankar, leader of the Dhankar Khap, who took chair of the meeting, announced, โ€œWe will try to socially isolate those who apply for this recruitment. We are boycotting this scheme which wants young people to be hired as laborers in the name of being an โ€˜Agniveerโ€™.โ€ Asked if this amounts to a boycott of the applicants, he said, โ€œWe are not using the word โ€˜boycottโ€™ for them, but the community will keep a distance from such people.โ€

The leader demanded that cases filed during the riots must be withdrawn as soon as possible.

Sources from the Khaps declared that an indefinite sit-in will be effective at Chhotu Ram Dham in Sampla.

He requested supporters from across states to be in attendance and express solidarity against the scheme.
