Dattatreya exhorts Oppn not to stymie Parliament meet
The Opposition parties had every right to spread their ideology, but they should not stall Parliament, Dattatreya said. The Congress, which had been in power for almost 60 years, had a bigger responsibility to let the Parliament function, he said. “Mainly, the Congress is acting in a narrow-minded way. It is not fair. The Congress says it has made sacrifices for the country. It is a party that rul
The Union Labour Minister says some important labour-related Bills will be passed during the session
Hyderabad: Noting that as many as 14 Bills concerning the Labour Ministry are pending before Parliament, Union Minister of State for Labour Bandaru Dattatreya on Monday said the Opposition parties should let the Parliament function smoothly in the interest of nation.
Some of the important Bills included comprehensive amendments of Factories Act, participation of workers in management, Child Labour Amendment Act, Mines Amendment Bill and Bills concerning interstate migrant workers, building and other construction workers, Dattatreya said.
“Minimum Wage Act is there. Workers need minimum wage, all over the country. But labour is in concurrent list. At the national level, minimum wage is there. It is only recommendatory. Once, it will be an Act in Parliament. Equal and minimum wage is to be given for workers wherever they are in the country,” he said.
National minimum wage, when came into force, would bring light in the lives of workers, he said. Trade unions had also shown enthusiasm on the minimum wages. He said he had got the Bonus Amendment Act passed in Parliament earlier though there were disturbances. The government was trying to get 44 Acts simplified into four codes (wages, industrial relations, safety, social security), he said.
The Opposition parties had every right to spread their ideology, but they should not stall Parliament, Dattatreya said. The Congress, which had been in power for almost 60 years, had a bigger responsibility to let the Parliament function, he said. “Mainly, the Congress is acting in a narrow-minded way. It is not fair. The Congress says it has made sacrifices for the country. It is a party that ruled for 60 years. The Left also needs to rethink. They should not go on the path of the Congress.
They should think of national interest. Whatever is your ideology, government is different and party is different. The Congress and the Left need to take note of that,” he added.
