Left Democratic Youth Front (LDYF), a coalition of youth organisations affiliated to the Left Democratic Front (LDF), will organise a Statewide protest against the Agnipath scheme for recruiting soldiers into the armed forces on June 29.
Youth, students, and armed forces aspirants will take part in a mass rally to Raj Bhavan and central government institutions at district centres. The agitation is organised to pledge solidarity with a Parliament march to be held on the same day, leaders of various organisations said at a press conference here on Sunday.
Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) State president V. Vineeth said a get-together of retired soldiers, aspirants, and socio-cultural leaders would be organised in Ernakulam on July 2. Similar programmes would be organised at the panchayat level. Youth squads would also conduct door-to-door visits to sensitise the public against the Agnipath scheme.
