The Congress on Wednesday launched a three-phase Jai Jawan campaign to provide “justice” to 150,000 youth who were selected for the armed forces but were not inducted after the launch of the Agnipath scheme.
Former party chief Rahul Gandhi launched the campaign on the eighteenth day of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, that is currently passing through West Bengal, and promised affected youth that he would raise this “injustice” at every forum.
Around 1.5 lakh candidates selected for the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy between 2019 and 2022 were allegedly denied entry after the Agnipath scheme began.
