Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati on Thursday questioned the central government on the new army recruitment scheme Agniveer in view of the protests by youths and demanded that the government reconsider its decision.
1. सेना में काफी लम्बे समय तक भर्ती लम्बित रखने के बाद अब केन्द्र ने सेना में 4 वर्ष अल्पावधि वाली ’अग्निवीर’ नई भर्ती योजना घोषित की है, उसको लुभावना व लाभकारी बताने के बावजूद देश का युवा वर्ग असंतुष्ट एवं आक्रोशित है। वे सेना भर्ती व्यवस्था को बदलने का खुलकर विरोध कर रहे हैं।

In a series of tweets on Thursday morning, Mayawati wrote, "After keeping the recruitment pending in the army for a long time, now the center has announced a new recruitment scheme of 4 years in the army 'Agniveer', despite calling it attractive and beneficial, the youth of the country are dissatisfied and angry. They are openly opposing to change the army recruitment system”.
She went on to say, "People believe that in order to eliminate pension benefits etc. in the army and government jobs, the government is limiting the number of years of service in the army to only four years, which is grossly unfair and illegal.
2. इनका मानना है कि सेना व सरकारी नौकरी में पेंशन लाभ आदि को समाप्त करने के लिए ही सरकार सेना में जवानों की भर्ती की संख्या को कमी के साथ-साथ मात्र चार साल के लिए सीमित कर रही है, जो घोर अनुचित तथा गरीब व ग्रामीण युवाओं व उनके परिवार के भविष्य के साथ खुला खिलवाड़ है।

Government is playing with the future of rural youth and their families”.
The BSP president further said, "People in the country are already sad and afflicted by rising poverty, inflation, unemployment and wrong policies and arrogant working style of the central government, in such a situation, the uneasiness spreading among the youth regarding new recruitment in the army is now causing disappointment.
The government should immediately reconsider its decision, this is the demand of the BSP”. (UNI)
