Ahmedabad: Coming down heavily on the central government over the contentious 'Agnipath' scheme, the AAP's Gujarat unit has demanded its withdrawal. Addressing a press conference, AAP's national joint general secretary Isudan Gadhvi said the youth should be allowed to choose their career path on their own.
Gadhvi said, "It's saddening that the youth who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the nation, don't like this scheme. Central government is being stubborn about this decision. They had to change the Farm Bills after almost 700 farmers lost their lives. Who is responsible for those deaths? Finally the government had to withdraw the Farm Bills after more than a year. This government is behaving against the motto of 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan'. Earlier they harassed the farmers and then withdrew the Bills. Youth are sacrificing their lives in the movement against the scheme. Who is responsible for this protest? The youth, who are going to be the beneficiaries of the scheme, don't agree with the scheme, then for whom the government is making the schemes?"
