Twenty press conference across the country on Sunday and a nation-wide satyagraha on Monday by members of Parliament and State lawmakers against the Agnipath recruitment scheme, the Congress plans to step up its campaign against the new recruitment scheme for the defence services.
While the move is aimed at reaching out to the youth who are protesting against the new scheme, it is also a way to reconnect with the people through the path of agitations.
The party has already announced a Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo [Unite India] yatra to coincide with Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary on October 2; took out Azadi Gaurav yatra and organised other protests against price rise and unemployment following the call given at the Nav Sankalp chintan shivir in Udaipur last month.
