Chandigarh, August 26

The Chandigarh Youth Congress today staged a protest at the Sector 17 Plaza against the National Monetisation Programme (NMP) being implemented by the Centre.

Youth Congress leaders expressed discontentment against the BJP-led Central dispensation. The protest comes in the backdrop of the announcement of the NMP, which focuses on monetising assets of the country and using them for other purposes. This blatantly greedy tactic to amass more resources by the BJP was condemnable, said the leaders.

Chandigarh Youth Congress president Manoj Lubana said: “As we saw with the PM Cares fund, there was zero transparency and when we needed it the most, when our entire health system was crumbling, those funds were nowhere to be found. The Centre’s methods are anti national.”
