Kharge Criticizes Modi's Skill Development Amid West Asia Conflict

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes the Modi government's Skill Development Cooperation, alleging it facilitates recruitment of Indian workers in Israel amid the West Asia conflict. He highlights the joblessness caused by anti-youth policies and accuses the government of deceptive claims on employment.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has issued a strong critique of the Modi government's Skill Development Cooperation, accusing it of facilitating the recruitment of around 15,000 Indian workers in Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Kharge pointed to a history of youth exploitation, citing instances where young Indians were misled by dubious agents into conflict zones such as the Russia-Ukraine war, often with tragic consequences.

His remarks, made on social media platform X, come just before the Haryana Assembly elections, where the Congress seeks to regain power from the BJP after a decade. Kharge argues these developments reflect a dire job market, a product of the government's perceived anti-youth policies.
