‘Agniveers’ are contractual labourers: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hits

‘Agniveers’ are contractual labourers: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hits

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on February 16 addressed youths in Bihar’s Mohania and hit out at the BJP-led Central government saying that this government wants them to become contractual labourers. Rahul Gandhi has drawn a parallel between ‘Agniveer’ scheme to contractual labourers. He said, “They (Centre) don’t want to use India’s Defence Budget for the training and security of jawans...You will neither be recruited in the Army nor Railways or any Public Sector Unit. Why? The Government wants you to become contractual labourers. They have given the name 'Agniveer' but he is a contractual labourer. That is the truth. They can sack him, throw him out anytime they want, without asking him, without pension or any help.”
