Mohali, September 17

Hundreds of Youth Congress workers led by Kanwarbir Singh Sidhu, president of the District Youth Congress, Mohali, observed the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘national unemployment day’ and staged a protest at the Landran chowk here today.

Addressing the workers, Kanwarbir Singh Sidhu said in the past one year, 12.2 crore people had lost their livelihood and jobs. Rising prices of petroleum products had escalated the rates of essential commodities, thereby breaking the backbone of the common man.

Kanwarbir said employment opportunities had dwindled in the country during the misrule of the Modi government starting from 2014. It was for the first time since Independence that the rate of inflation went into double digit.

He also slammed the Modi government for sowing the seeds of communalisation, thereby dividing the people on basis of caste, creed and religion. Kanwarbir said there was nothing to rejoice on the birthday of an inefficient Prime Minister.
