As many as 483 train services were cancelled on Sunday due to protests in different parts of the country against the Centre's 'Agnipath' scheme for short-term recruitment in the armed forces.
The Congress said lakhs of party workers across the country will hold peaceful protests on Monday against the "anti-youth" Agnipath scheme and the Modi government's "vendetta politics" in targeting Rahul Gandhi.
Schools in Jharkhand will remain shut on Monday in view of the bandh called over theAgnipathrecruitment scheme, officials said.
BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya on Sunday drew flak from the Opposition as well his own party MP Varun Gandhi for apparently suggesting that he will give priority to 'Agniveers' for security jobs at his party office.While the Congress accused him of insulting soldiers, Vijayvargiya alleged the "toolkit gang" was twisting his comments and all he meant was that the excellence of these soldiers will be utilised in whichever field they go to after completing their tenure.
