Ramdev express concern over growing youth unrest on education, recruitment issues

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev expressed concern over growing youth unrest on education and recruitment issues during the Independence Day celebrations in Uttarakhand. Speaking to reporters at Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar, Ramdev warned that irregularities in education and government recruitment could lead to stronger protests across the country if not addressed promptly.

He highlighted the lack of teachers and proper facilities in schools, as well as the leaking of question papers in competitive exams, rendering students' board examination marks useless.

Ramdev also alleged that government recruitment processes were fraught with corruption, with candidates being selected based on caste, community, organization, and ideology, with bribes further exacerbating the issue. He urged authorities to mend their ways and undertake necessary reforms in both the education and recruitment systems before the situation deteriorates further.

Ramdev emphasized that time was still available to correct the system and called for peaceful and disciplined demonstrations, cautioning against violence and disorder. He criticized the growing hostility between the government and opposition, urging both sides to show greater respect and restrain in their political discourse.
