New Delhi: The protesters are continuing a gradual fast in Nandnagri, Delhi, in support of the implementation of the National Employment Policy on the fourth day of the employment movement. Social worker Megha Patekar joined the event today to encourage the employment movement. On this occasion, pro-employment activists used Nukkad Natak to protest the central government against rising unemployment and the Agneepath scheme.
Social activist Megha Patekar, while expressing her views towards the employment movement, said, “In order to completely eliminate unemployment in this nation, laws based on a national employment policy should be made. Employment is a fundamental right that ought to be available to all citizens of the nation.”
Delhi’s cabinet minister and founder of Desh Ki Baat Foundation, Shri Gopal Rai said, “The current push to establish the National Employment Policy enters its fourth day today. Social worker Megha Patekar has boosted the morale of all our employment agitators sitting on a gradual fast for the last four days by coming here today. Her presence has also bolstered our demand that the National Employment Policy be implemented in the nation.
Our 41 representatives from all throughout the nation are sitting on a gradual fast today, the fourth day of the movement. Activists for employment are currently criticising the central government through Nukkad Natak in protest of the nation’s rising unemployment and the Agneepath plan. Along with this, in the next phase of employment movement, Rojgar Sansad will be organized in Nand Nagri on 21st August, in which various MPs and prominent social people have been invited from all over the country.”
The Sanyukt Rojgar Andolan Samiti-affiliated youth were being detained by the police as they prepared to present the Defense Minister with the National Employment Policy draft.
Shri Gopal Rai said, “The government is not making the kind of better efforts that are required to address the country’s current biggest issue, which is unemployment. In light of the nation’s rising unemployment rate, we have created a draught of a “National Employment Policy” with the help of intellectuals from around the nation.
Additionally, a memorandum related to this was twice given to the prime minister: on December 20, 2021, and August 5, 2022. Just on August 17, the Sanyukt Rojgar Andolan Samiti-affiliated students who intended to deliver the National Employment Policy draught to the Prime Minister were detained by police on Lok Kalyan Marg. And even today, more than 150 youths associated with the Sanyukt Rojgar Andolan Samiti, who are going to give the memorandum of the National Employment Policy to the Defense Minister, have been arrested by the police from the Constitution Club and put them in three different places: Mandir Marg, Connaught Place and Mandawali.”
He further told, “We urge the Central Government to allow us some time so that we may discuss the National Employment Policy and adopt a better law to help combat the rising unemployment rate in the nation. Today, fighting against the unemployment issue requires uniting on a single platform rather than arresting our people. The goal of this movement is to help the government rather than oppose it so that a national employment policy may be created for the country’s youth and thousands of young people can find employment.”
