Derek O’Brien speaks on the ‘retirement’ of radio jockeys | Transcript

Sir, spreading message through FM or on smartphones and other such devices is very good. The people who actually spread the message are the Radio Jockeys or the RJs. Is the Minister aware, and if he is, what is the solution to this, that in some stations across the country young men and women have been asked to ‘retire’ after they reach the age of 35. What great biological change takes place that RJs across the country are asked to retire? RJs are the people who take radio message across to millions of people. What is the reason to retire all these young boys and girls at 35, as we read in the media in last two weeks?

Thank you Sir.
