Rahul Gandhi leads Congress’ protest against VK Singh in Parliament

Speaking to reporters outside Parliament after Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi led a protest by party MPs demanding Singh’s ouster, Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy said that Singh is being “traumatised” for a statement that he has not made.

Accusing the Prime Minister of waging a warfare on the labour class, Rahul asserted that the federal government, which ought to be impartial, has abandoned the labourers and is making an attempt its degree greatest to deliver them down on their knees by decreasing their primary safety and requirements.

“But when Modiji formed the government, he tried to kill the Land Acquisition Bill that was passed by us thrice”, Rahul said. He has a imaginative and prescient to make India a worldwide producer and I agree with him, however exclusively until this level.

Rahul said labour force creates the products and services availed by people.

“The Prime Minister thinks that there is need to weaken labour laws and that the labourers need to be disciplined so that they are forced to work”.

“The PM thinks workers should be treated with the stick”, he said. “Modiji, try and secure their children’s future and then watch how far they take India”, Rahul said while addressing the 31st plenary session of Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC). Then Smart Cities. Then Make In India, Digital India and now we are at Accessible India. “God knows what new slogan they will come up with next”, he said.

The Congress leader said “we hear words like growth and development”, but wondered: “Growth for whom?”

“Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s allegations are false and we strongly condemn them”.

He said the trade union movement has to be made aware that at present Indian economy faces a fragile recovery and inadequate expansion of employment opportunities and public enterprises face an uncertain future. “The actual pace on the ground is only a fraction of this target”, he said.

“However, industrial strife, strikes and lockouts are not the best means to resolve unrest”.
