DHARAMSHALA: Condemning the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress government's decision to recruit guest lecturers in government schools and colleges, the legislative party of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a sit-in protest in the Himachal Pradesh Vidhan Sabha on Friday. All BJP MLAs, under the leadership of Leader of Opposition (LoP) Jai Ram Thakur, took out a procession from the opposition lounge to Gate Number 1 of the Vidhan Sabha and raised slogans against the government, demanding jobs for the youth and withdrawal of the guest teacher policy, which was passed on December 12.
The LoP, while addressing the media, said this government is an anti-youth government, a government that plays with the youth.
"Today, the youth of the state are on the streets against the policies of the government. The guest teacher policy brought by the government is unfortunate and shameful," he added.
