Addressing the meeting, Chidambaram called the National Monetization Pipeline scheme of the Central government a 'daylight robbery', and asked the youth leaders to make common people aware of the issues related to the scheme.

"Whatever has been created by the governments of the country in the last 70 years is being given in the hands of a select few. People should be aware of this menace and oppose it," he said.

The senior Congress leader also said that there was no consultation with the Opposition before announcing the policy. "There was no debate in Parliament. The government would never allow discussion on the issue," Chidambaram added.
