New Delhi, September 15 (Daily Kiran) : Hannan Mollah, a leader of the CPI-M, has expressed strong opposition to the Indian government’s proposed charges on UPI-Rupee payments. Speaking in New Delhi, he highlighted concerns over the increasing financial burden on ordinary citizens. Mollah criticized the government’s policies, stating that the economic strain on the public has been relentless, particularly over the past 15 years.
The proposed fee structure for transactions exceeding ₹2,000 is seen as another step in the wrong direction. Mollah remarked that the public must remain vigilant about their finances, as new charges continue to emerge. He likened the current situation to a sieve, where the financial strain on citizens only seems to worsen.
Addressing the issue of children’s safety on online platforms, Mollah stated that the true impact of government actions will only be clear after they are implemented. He emphasized the need for tangible results before the public can judge the effectiveness of these measures.
On the topic of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), Mollah responded to comments made by AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi. He noted that the ongoing challenges faced by Muslims in India could be exacerbated by NRC policies, which he views as part of a broader trend of discrimination. Mollah expressed concern over the discomfort and anxiety such policies create within affected communities.
He argued that as long as discriminatory policies and mindsets persist, attacks on marginalized groups will continue. Mollah did not receive any comments from the central government regarding his allegations.
In response to Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud’s remarks on judicial transparency, Mollah welcomed the initiative. He stressed the importance of accountability within the judiciary, asserting that mere statements are insufficient without practical implementation. Ensuring public trust in the judicial system requires a commitment to uphold the principles of transparency.
