Youth Congress protests against unemployment

KULLU, SEPTEMBER 17

On the birthday of PM Narendra Modi, the Kullu Youth Congress held a dharna here today, marking the day as ‘Rashtriya Berozgari Diwas’ in protest against the rising unemployment. They raised slogans against the government and said it should stop the exploitation of the youth.

The workers fried ‘pakoras’ (fritters) and cut a cake to express resentment.

Kullu Youth Congress president Veer Singh Thakur said Narendra Modi had promised during the elections in 2014 to provide employment to 2 crore persons per year, but there was no respite and unemployment was growing. — OC
