Amid State-wide protests against Agnipath recruitment scheme, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday announced to give “guaranteed” State government jobs to Agniveers after four years’ service.
Mr. Lal, in a tweet early in the morning, said: "I announce to provide guaranteed jobs in State government to Agniveers after four-year service to the nation under Agnipath scheme".
His announcement, however, evoked a mixed response from the Twitterati. While a few hailed the announcement in their replies to the tweet, many others demanded that the government must bring legislation to this effect to show its seriousness. Some took a dig at the government for the high unemployment rate in the State and the pending recruitment process for various posts in different departments.
