SRINAGAR, Nov 2: After receiving a huge response from the public in Jammu and Ladakh provinces of the State during the first and second phase, ” Yuva Akrosh Yatra” a mass movement organised by Pradesh Youth Congress, against the growing unemployment and other youth related issues, reached Kashmir valley for the final phase of the Yatra.
State president of PYC Pranav Shagotra, Ghulam Nabi Monga- MLC, Shoaib Nabi Lone, former MLA and Nasir Ahmed Mir, PYC gen secretary and Mir Iqbal LYC president Barmulla led the rally. A large number of youth joined the Yatra and marched in different parts of towns raising slogans against the BJP-PDP Government. .
Addressing the gathering, Mr Shagotra said that by introducing the latest recruitment policy 2015, under which one has work for the first five years as a contractual employee on lesser wages, a great harm has been done to the careers of the educated youth of the State. “It is a great injustice and the Government should not play with the careers of the youth,” PYC chief said.
Ghulam Nabi Monga exhorted upon the youth of the State to stand up and get united against this Government and added that BJP and PDP have committed the worst kind of political cheating with their electorates in their respective constituencies. They promised sky and especially they exploited the sentiment of the youth by raising their hopes but have forgotten after forming the Government.
He further added that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised many packages including the employment package for youth during his election campaigns but have never given any thing for the welfare of the youth of the state so far. BJP has proved to be a “Chunabi Jumla” party and PDP is busy in appeasing the separatists and antinational elements with support from BJP.
Later, PYC activists also burned the effigy of Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Union Minister of State for his derogatory remarks against Sonia Gandhi, the AICC president. The activists raised slogans against the BJP and Mr Naqvi.
