| JKPYC lambasts Union Govt for dip in India’s rank in Global Hunger Index | |
Jammu, October 16 (Scoop News)- Nimrandeep Singh Bhullar, General Secretary J&K Pradesh Youth Congress (JKPYC) while expressing shock over the dip in India’s rank in Global Hunger Index from 94 to 101 lambasted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Govt at the Centre alleging that it is responsible for this retrogression.
In a statement issued to media here today, the JKPYC General Secretary lamented that what could be more shameful for the people of the world’s largest democracy than the fact that this nation of ours is today even lagging behind the petty neighbours like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. Quoting the Global Hunger Index (GHI) report, Nimrandeep Singh said that India has slipped to 101st among 116 countries from its 2020 ranking of 94. India is behind Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. With a score of 27.5, India has a level of hunger that is serious, he added.
The JKPYC General Secretary blamed the BJP led Union Govt for this sordid state of affairs alleging that it is the anti-poor policies of the government that have resulted in a fall in India’s ranking. At this rate, India will now have to compete with a country like Somalia which is highly shameful, he lamented. Strongly hitting out at the Modi government, Nimrandeep said that if the people of this nation cannot even eat enough food, then it directly raises question on the credibility and efficiency of those who are steering the Govt especially the one sitting in the driver’s seat.
