Addressing a meeting of workers here on Sunday Bajwa said that this was the second incident in last one month when an unemployed youth had ended his life in helplessness. He said that earlier Jaswinder Singh a veterinary pharmacist in Bathinda the home constituency of MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal had committed suicide under similar circumstances. "The jobless linemen were protesting for last many months and also held 35 day long hunger strike. Sarabjit Singh was among the jobless linemen who met deputy chief minister Sukhbir Singh Badal at Chandigarh last week but he didn't pay any heed to the demand of linemen," he added.
PPCC President also pointed out that there were plenty of incidents of self-immolation and suicides by unemployed youth and many times they were seen protesting on water tanks but SAD-BJP government had no concern about their plight. He alleged that non-governance, corruption and vested interests of Badal family were responsible for suicides by unemployed youth and also the farmers in state.
Bajwa said that SAD had in its election manifesto promised to pay unemployment allowance of Rs.1000 per person and the youth supported them in the hope of getting allowance and jobs. He said that educated youth felt cheated in the hands of SAD-BJP government. He demanded a compensation of Rs.10 lakh to each of unemployed youth who committed suicide and suitable jobs for their kin. He said that during last government chief minister Parkash Singh Badal and Sukhbir Singh Badal had promised to give jobs to unemployed linemen but now backed out from their promise. He feared that if immediate solution to problem of unemployment was not found, it will trigger a spate of suicides.
Punjab Congress chief said that Congress had started campaign to mobilize unemployed youth and Congress MLAs would enroll at least 1000 unemployed youth with the employment exchanges by the end of August. He said that Congress party would approach the court against false promise made by SAD-BJP government with the youth.
