Digital Desk, Lucknow. Congress MP Imran Masood criticized the central and state governments on several issues, including the protests by students preparing for the JPSC and JSSC exams in Jharkhand. He also addressed issues such as delimitation, unemployment, paper leaks, and women’s reservation. Masood stated that Jharkhand has a government that supports the interests of the youth, and therefore, he expects a positive decision on the students’ demands.

Student Protest Justified

Imran Masood stated that the protests by JPSC and JSSC students are justified. He said that there should be no compromise on the future of the youth. He expressed confidence that the Jharkhand government will consider the students’ demands and find solutions to their problems.

Masood also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Mann Ki Baat” program, saying that the Prime Minister, instead of listening to the people, is preoccupied with his own views.

Concerns Expressed Over Delimitation

Imran Masood expressed concern over the absence of several MPs from the all-party meeting called by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. He stated that the issue of delimitation is crucial for southern states.

According to Masood, if delimitation is implemented, the representation of states like Tamil Nadu in Parliament could be affected. He urged the central government to engage with all political parties and reach a consensus on this issue.

Corrected the Government on Unemployment and Paper Leaks

Supporting Rahul Gandhi’s statement on education and employment, the Congress MP said that simply obtaining a degree is no longer sufficient for youth, as employment opportunities are limited.

He claimed that the decline in production in the country is also impacting employment. Masood targeted the government over incidents of paper leaks in recruitment exams, saying that this problem needs to be taken seriously. He alleged that the government is misleading the public with employment- data.

Demand for early implementation of women’s reservation

Regarding the demand for early implementation of the Women’s Reservation Act, Imran Masood stated that Congress also supports equal representation for women in politics. He said that the law has already been passed, so there should be no delay in implementing it.

Comments on the West Bengal government

Regarding the action taken against some BJP officials in West Bengal and the issuance of show-cause notices, Masood commented on the situation in the state, stating that the law and order situation there remains serious.

Raised questions on the increase in milk prices

The Congress MP also raised questions on the increase in milk prices in Maharashtra. He said that the government should encourage dairy farmers instead of imposing additional financial burden on consumers.

Referring to the alleged gap between milk production and consumption, Masood said that to address this situation, it is necessary to focus on increasing production. He demanded the government strengthen the dairy sector and provide more support to farmers.
