Sapa MP Mohibullah Nadvi Criticizes Governments Employment Policies and Election Integrity

New Delhi, October 29 (Daily Kiran) : Mohibullah Nadvi, a member of the Samajwadi Party, has voiced strong criticism against the Uttar Pradesh government’s stringent verification rules for public sector jobs. Speaking in New Delhi, he expressed concerns over the challenges faced by youth seeking employment and the implications of recent comments made by BJP leaders regarding the MLC elections held via ballot paper.

Nadvi accused the government of creating obstacles rather than providing solutions for youth employment. He highlighted that the focus should be on advancing the lives of citizens, supporting students, aiding farmers, and ensuring quality education for children. Instead, he claimed the government is generating new problems. Promises made to provide jobs and unemployment benefits to young people remain unfulfilled, he argued, and incidents of exam paper leaks have added to the distress faced by students, impacting families and the futures of many young individuals.

Referencing the demonetization period, Nadvi remarked that the promised return of black money was never realized. He pointed out individuals who absconded with crores from banks, accusing the government of failure across multiple fronts. He questioned the government’s intentions, especially regarding the verification rules for protesters. “If youth demonstrate for their rights, will they be labeled as criminals?” he asked. He further criticized the government for seeking excuses to deny employment when it has failed to conduct exams properly.

On the topic of the MLC election results, Nadvi reiterated the necessity for elections to be conducted fairly using ballot papers. He emphasized that elections must be free from booth capturing and undue influence. Fairness in the electoral process is paramount, he stated, asserting that when voters can exercise their rights without pressure, the true state of election results will emerge. He called for heightened attention to the freedom and transparency of elections within a democratic system.

In response to comments from Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the Congress party‘s performance in the MLC elections, Nadvi insisted that the upcoming elections should also utilize ballot papers. He raised concerns over alleged discrepancies that surfaced during the special intensive revision of the voter list, advocating for resolutions to any objections raised by the public to ensure fair elections.

Nadvi also questioned the practice of transferring funds to women’s accounts during elections, citing Maharashtra and Bihar as examples of the BJP’s focus on power acquisition. He stressed that once in power, the government should prioritize understanding the needs of citizens and addressing their issues. A true patriot, he argued, seeks to unite rather than divide people, asserting that national progress relies on cooperation and unity rather than increasing conflict.

Addressing allegations from Congress leader K.C. Venugopal that there are attempts to prevent activists from attending a rally in Delhi on November 1, Nadvi affirmed that the Constitution grants citizens the right to voice their opinions. If citizens are dissatisfied with government policies, they should have the opportunity to express their concerns and protest without hindrance from those in power.

He concluded by stating that suppressing dissent is akin to trampling on people’s rights. There must be space for disagreement in a democracy, and the government should listen to citizens’ grievances. The right to express oneself peacefully is a vital component of a democratic society.
