New Delhi [India], January 30 (ANI): CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar has expressed mixed reactions to the central government’s all-party meeting,calling it as a “welcome step” but also criticizing its timing.
Kumar emphasized that the meeting should have been convened 10-15 days prior to the session, allowing for more substantial discussions and incorporation of raised issues into the government’s agenda. However, the CPI will attend the meeting and raise crucial pro-people issues affecting youth and students.
“We demanded to convene this meeting at least 10 days before the commencement of the session. The meeting is a welcome step but suppose we raise certain issues, it should be reflected in the government agenda…Just one day before the commencement of the session, this (the meeting) is not going to serve any purpose, we can only exchange our views. So, CPI demanded that this meeting must be convened at least 10-15 days before the session starts. However, we are going to attend the meeting and we will raise many pro-people issues related to youth and students..,” he said.
