"Today is the 52nd day and the highlight is the visit of Rahul Gandhi to the most sacred Shree Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain at 2 pm.

Three of four people to be relieved from services under Agniveer Scheme would be SC, ST, and OBC: Rahul Gandhi

Resuming the Nyay Yatra on Tuesday from MP's Shajapur, Gandhi criticized the Narendra Modi-led NDA government's Agniveer saying that the Scheme is discriminatory. He said "They (BJP government) have implemented the Agniveer Scheme. Earlier, the armed forces used to give couple of guarantees to the youth - first, the youth would be given pension and second, they would get respect if they lose their lives. Now, the Agniveer Scheme has been implemented. Under this, four people would be inducted. Out of these four, three would be relieved. These three people would be the SC, ST and the OBC."

Several youth who cleared the recruitment process await entry into Armed Forces: Jairam Ramesh

Gandhi met the youth gathered in Shajapur during the Yatra and interacted with them. He pointed out at the delay in recruitment of several young men into Armed Forces, and said that they are waiting to join the forces since two years.

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of 1.5 lakh Yuva across the country who had cleared the recruitment process for regular entry into the Armed Forces, whose joining has been put on halt for a few years now due to the introduction of the ill-advised Agneepath scheme."

"This casual cruelty to thousands of such Yuva and their families is a hallmark of the Anyay-kaal. @INCIndia’s Yuva Nyay Agenda has been evolved after interacting and listening to the pain and anxieties of thousands of Yuva across the country. We will bring justice to the millions of affected Yuva across the country."
