Congress MP calls it a 'matter of shame,' hitting back at UP CM's remarks on.... employment opportunities in Israel.
Matter of Shame’: Priyanka Slams Yogi for Sending Youths to Israel
Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday, calling the practice of sending youths to the war zone in Israel for employment a “matter of shame.”
Her remarks were in response to Adityanath’s comments about her carrying a Palestine-branded bag to Parliament. The Chief Minister had earlier highlighted that over 5,600 youths from Uttar Pradesh have been sent to Israel for construction work, where they are provided with free food, accommodation, and a monthly salary of ₹1.5 lakh, along with a guarantee of safety.
Priyanka, however, retorted, accusing Adityanath of calling the act of sending youths to a war zone an “achievement,” while ignoring the unemployment issues and the hardships faced by families of these youths in Uttar Pradesh. She emphasized that the state government’s failure to provide employment within the country is being overshadowed by this controversial policy.
