Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has appealed to the party leaders and workers not to celebrate his birthday on Sunday. In a message to party leaders and workers, Rahul said that the youth of the country are upset and protesting on the streets, and Congress workers should stand with them. In a message posted on Twitter by All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh, Rahul Gandhi said that the atmosphere in the country is very worrying at this time.

Referring to the protests taking place in many parts of the country against the 'Agneepath' scheme for recruitment in the armed forces, Rahul Gandhi said, "The youth of the country are upset. We must stand with them and their families at this time." He said, “I appeal to all Congress workers and well-wishers across the country not to celebrate my birthday in any way.

It is worth noting that there has been a ruckus across the country regarding the Agneepath scheme. Against this scheme of recruitment in the army, the youth is protesting by taking to the streets. The Congress has stood in favor of the protesting youth. Today Congress is waging Satyagraha movement at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi can also join this movement of the party. At the same time, many veteran Congress leaders are expected to participate in the Satyagraha.

Earlier on Saturday, the Congress on Saturday demanded the central government to immediately withdraw the 'Agneepath' recruitment scheme introduced for recruitment in the armed forces. The Congress party said that it should stop playing with national security and youth should not be thrown into the fire. Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Saturday termed the 'Agneepath' scheme as "directionless" and said her party promised a struggle to get it back.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday that the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to withdraw the controversial agricultural laws, he will have to accept the demand of the youth by withdrawing the 'Agneepath' defense recruitment scheme. Rahul tweeted, "For eight years, the BJP government has continuously insulted the values ​​of 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan'. I had said earlier also that the Prime Minister will have to withdraw the Black Agriculture Act. In the same way, he will have to obey the youth of the country by becoming 'Mafiveer' and 'Agneepath' will have to be taken back.
