The Congress will take out a Tiranga rally in Jaipur on Sunday to demand the withdrawal of the 'Agnipath' scheme.
The grand old party's rally will be in support of the youth demanding the withdrawal of the Centre’s 'Agnipath' recruitment scheme.
The rally will start from Amar Jawan Jyoti in Jaipur. It is scheduled to begin at 10 AM.
The rally will be flagged off by Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and state Congress Chief Govind Singh Dotasra and is likely to witness the presence of several ministers in Gehlot's cabinet.
The Council of Ministers in Rajasthan on Saturday had passed a resolution demanding the withdrawal of the scheme.
The Centre on June 14 had unveiled the scheme for recruitment of young people aged between 17.5 and 21 into the Army, Navy and the Air Force, largely on a four-year short-term contractual basis.
Meanwhile, nation-wide protests continued for the fourth day on Saturday against the central government’s Agnipath scheme in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
