Striking again at the Modi-Government on the "increasing joblessness" in the country, BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Friday drew attention to a "desperate youth" in Haryana committing suicide due to the "non-recruitment" in Army for the "last three years".
The BJP MP who has been writing on the "rising unemployment" in the country sought to know from the present dispensation as "when will the Government finally listen to the plea of these hard-working working youths."
"The overaging youth due to non occurrence of army rally for recruitment for three years have gone desperate and despondent", tweeted the BJP parliamentarian who has been urging the Government to fill up vacancies in the government and "reduce unemployment" in the country.
The aspiring armyman allegedly committed suicide due to not being able to join the army in Bhiwani district in Haryana after he turned 23.
The MP who tagged a report along with his Hindi tweet which said that the youth had taken the pledge to serve the nation but could not get recruitment in the Army and hanged himself "in the same field where he used to practice racing".
According to the report, the youth in a letter to his father wrote, “Bapu I could not become a soldier in this birth. If I can take my next birth, I will definitely become a soldier”.
Varun quoted the deceased youth in his tweet saying " jis maidan main Liya tha 'Rashtra seva ka sankap' vahi likhe antim sabd Babu is janam main to nahin ban saka, agla janam Liya to fauji zaroor banunga".
The BJP MP wrote on the Twitter handle that youths have become overaged for the army as recruitment has not been done for the last three years.
The BJP MP has been frequently criticizing the government for "not filling" lakhs of Government jobs even as joblessness has increased manifold in the country, he alleged in his writings.
