Malda, September 12 (Daily Kiran) : Congress MP Esha Khan Chaudhary recently addressed the ongoing debate over dietary choices, asserting that individuals should have the freedom to decide what and when to eat without government interference. In her remarks, she emphasized that the government has no right to legislate personal dietary preferences, arguing that political parties, like the BJP in West Bengal, should not dictate such matters.
Chaudhary stated, “Whether one chooses vegetarian or non-vegetarian food, and when to eat, is a personal right. The government should not have a say in this because it represents a political party, not a religion.” She further pointed out that any party, including the BJP, can face opposition, which is a constitutional right enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
Turning her attention to BRICS, Chaudhary noted that many people are unaware of the forum’s purpose. She described BRICS as a multinational platform for developing countries that are not fully developed like the United States or European nations. While these economies occasionally collaborate, she highlighted the need for greater awareness and understanding among the general populace.
Currently, international trade relies heavily on the US dollar, which raises concerns about dependency. Chaudhary proposed that BRICS countries should consider establishing their own currency to facilitate trade among themselves. She believes that increased cooperation between member states, such as India and China, could be beneficial for developing nations.
However, she acknowledged that the extent of cooperation within BRICS remains uncertain. Addressing a question about Pakistan’s interest in joining BRICS, supported by China, Chaudhary noted the long-standing issues between India and Pakistan. She asserted that until these issues are resolved and terrorism is addressed, collaborative efforts will be challenging.
Chaudhary’s comments reflect a broader dialogue on the intersection of personal rights and international cooperation among developing nations.
