As the agitation against the Agnipath has left Bihar in flames, the students' organisations in Bihar have found support in Lalu Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party and have called a 24-hour state-wide band on Saturday, June 18.
Announcing the RJD's support for the bandh call, the president of its Bihar unit, Jagadanand Singh, said the short-term recruitment scheme is detrimental to the interests of the nation's youth.
"We support those who are agitating on streets in protest against 'Agnipath' recruitment. The new short-term recruitment scheme in the armed forces is not in the interest of the country's youth," he said at the party office here, in the presence of other Left leaders.
