JAMMU, Jan 10: National Conference senior leader and former minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra today alleged that the anti youth policies of BJP Govt at the Centre and in Jammu & Kashmir have given fillip to unprecedented unemployment which has added further frustration and alienation among youth.
“It is high time to check rising unemployment & provide mass employment avenues to the youth. Added frustration and alienation among youth is not in the national interest,” he said while addressing a meeting of Youth National Conference at Jaswan in Marh.
Mr Sadhotra further alleged that BJP is in habit of giving hollow slogans and slogan of giving two crore jobs every year to youth in the country since 2014 has created atmosphere of frustration and alienation. “Our youth are future of our country, if BJP for the sake of votes is making false promises with youth. The party should keep in mind that by making such false promises, they are making future of the country dark which is not in the national interest,” he added.
The NC leader said Covid-19 has further multiplied the problems of unemployment but BJP Govt has utterly failed to rise to the expectations of the youth and it has turned deaf ear to the burning and just problem. Asking the BJP Govt to rise to the occasion on priority, he demanded to transfer cash of Rs 10000 per month to every unemployed youth so that he could face the situation created by Covid-19 and rising unemployment. “It will certainly give sense of belonging and security among youth which is dire need of the hour otherwise after Kisans long protest, BJP Govt should be ready to face youth protests in the country. We cannot afford unrest in the country as our economy has already dipped to unprecedented lowest level,” said Mr Sadhotra.
The NC leader also demanded immediate restoration of 4G in Jammu & Kashmir. “It is regrettable and unfortunate that Lt Governor Manoj Sinha announced twice to restore 4G but only day after his second announcement, Jammu & Kashmir Govt issued order to again ban this facility in J&K except in two districts.
Others who spoke on the occasion, included . Balbir Singh Langeh, Rakesh Sharma, Vinay Gupta, Rinku, Bali Ram Panch, Ram Dayal Panch, Amar Singh, Sawarn Singh Manhas, Devi Ditta and Bela Ram Kaith.
