New Delhi, August 28: Concerns are mounting among Congress leaders regarding the recent floods in Nepal and the potential threats they pose to the northeastern states of India. Congress MP Imran Masood, speaking from Saharanpur, emphasized the need for India to remain vigilant in light of the disaster in Nepal. He also expressed worries about Chinese activities, warning that tampering with nature could lead to disastrous consequences.
Masood commented on the possibility of further flooding in Nepal, saying, “May God keep everything alright. I hope nothing bad happens.” He highlighted that China has made preparations on all fronts, which could pose a significant threat to Assam and the northeastern regions of India. “When nature is tampered with, it reacts in a devastating manner,” he stated, noting that the situation in Nepal has already impacted areas along India’s borders.
In response to a question regarding BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi’s remarks about opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, Masood sharply criticized Trivedi, asserting, “In my opinion, there is no one more deceitful than him in the entire world. I don’t know where he gets these books or statements from.”
Commenting on the situation in West Bengal, Masood accused the Kolkata government of being in a “jungle raj.” He claimed that actions are being taken out of political vengeance and insisted that Mamata Banerjee cannot be eliminated. He also accused the BJP of misusing power. Furthermore, Masood raised concerns about law and order in light of the murder of Haryanvi singer Ankit Baliyan, stating that a murder occurring openly in public spaces reflects serious issues. He found it even more alarming that criminals are taking responsibility for such acts.
Meanwhile, Congress MP Dr. Akhilesh Prasad Singh from Delhi urged the government to take precautionary measures regarding the floods in Nepal. He stated that the entire world is worried about the devastation in Nepal and that the Indian government must ensure the safety of its citizens.
On the topic of women’s reservation and potential constitutional amendments, Singh suggested that the Prime Minister should convene senior leaders from all parties to seek a consensus. He questioned the necessity of calling a special session, given that the monsoon session has just concluded and the winter session is approaching. Singh reiterated Congress’s clear stance that 33% reservation should be granted to women in the 543 Lok Sabha seats, which could also address concerns from southern states. If the government is reconsidering constitutional amendments, it should seek agreement through an all-party meeting, as previous attempts have not been successful.
