The first step would be 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' conferences from August 7 to 14, said Yogendra Yadav, the president of Morcha constituent Swaraj India

New Delhi: The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the umbrella organisation that spearheaded the movement against the Narendra Modi government’s controversial farm laws, and the United Front of Ex-Servicemen will jointly organise a nationwide campaign against the Centre’s Agnipath armed forces recruitment scheme from August 7 to August 14.

Addressing a media conference in Delhi on Saturday, Yogendra Yadav, the president of Morcha constituent Swaraj India, said the first step would be “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” conferences from August 7 to 14.

Several youth organisations are supposed to join the movement.“We are going to hold major events under the campaign on Sunday in Haryana’s Jind district, Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) and Calcutta. This campaign aims to educate the public about the disastrous consequences of the ill-thought-out Agnipath scheme. We demand a rollback of the scheme,” Yadav said.If the three farm laws that the Morcha forced the Centre to repeal after a yearlong protest were dire, he said, the Agnipath scheme was disastrous.

Yadav said: “With our farmers and soldiers in distress, the backbone of our nation is in danger of being broken. Our silence cannot be the reason for the government to bulldoze and destroy the protectors and feeders of the nation. We forced the government to take back the farm laws and we are sure the Agnipath scheme will also meet the same fate.” 

The Modi government has ruled out withdrawing the Agnipath scheme despite violent protests across the country in June this year. Agnipath allows youths to join the armed forces for only four years without pension or gratuity, with 75 per cent of recruits demobbed after the completion of the tenure. The rest are to be retained in the regular cadre, based on merit and organisational requirements.
