Zeeshan sought three years relaxation in age to all the youngsters who are preparing for the Armed forces. He claimed that for last three years no recruitment rally has taken place. "The two years announced by the Defence Minister is inadequate. We demand the government should apologise to the youth of the country why for last three years no recruitment has taken place in the last three years in the Army," he said. Attacking the ruling government, the NC leader said, "Why the Prime Minister is not thinking about the aspiration of the youth of the country? The government brought this scheme to divert the attention of the people from its failure of addressing the 'unemployment issue' which is unfortunate." "Only to hide their failure on employment front, the government has put out a contract scheme. Youth want to serve for lifelong, not 4 years. This arbitrary scheme should be rolled back," he added. Zeeshan asked the Central Government to stop playing with the future of country's youth and immediate withdrawal the aforesaid scheme in the interest of youth of the country.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
