#WATCH | Delhi: Union Minister Chirag Paswan says, "Is reservation something that can be abolished simply because someone says so? It is a constitutional right. Reservation is not charity handed out to anyone; it is a constitutional right, and no power on earth can abolish it. And those who contemplate abolishing it, whether through review or reform, likely do not understand why reservation is necessary. Look at what happened to Mr Kharge on that stage. The stage was purified after he visited it, wasn't it? Even today, a Dalit youth is stopped from riding a horse; a Dalit boy is prevented from taking out a wedding procession. When prominent leaders visit a temple, the premises are sometimes washed with Gangajal. So, this discrimination persists, doesn't it? And these are the Scheduled Castes who have been victims of untouchability. Discrimination still exists today...I can say with absolute certainty that as long as I am here and as long as Chirag Paswan, the son of Ram Vilas Paswan, is part of the government, I will never allow this system to be undermined."
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in India categorically rejects the reports and claims circulated by certain media outlets regarding the economic situation in Iran and alleged difficulties in the supply of essential goods and public necessities.
It is emphasized that, despite the imposition of three wars and extensive pressures against the Iranian nation, no shortage of essential commodities or basic necessities has occurred to date. Owing to the effective measures and responsible management of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the leadership of President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian, the procurement, supply, and distribution of the goods required by the country continue in a normal, stable, and uninterrupted manner.
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran also urges respected Indian media organizations to obtain and disseminate news and reports concerning Iran from credible, official, and verifiable sources. In this regard, it should be recalled that Iran International is a media outlet affiliated with opponents and adversaries of the Iranian people and has a long record of disseminating biased narratives aligned with anti-Iranian political agendas. Consequently, it cannot be regarded as a credible source for accurately reflecting the realities of Iran.
