The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
The Labour ministry is taking the correct view. If labour laws need to be amended to allow employers more flexibility in hiring and firing, that should come from a substantive dialogue with all stakeholders. Not these Ordinances rushed through at a time when the working class – in both the organised and unorganised sectors – is facing a tsunami of distress. In any case, for serious job creation to take place, states like UP and MP will have to do a lot more on infrastructure and other fronts as well. It is also true that some of the rights like an eight hour working day have been secured by workers after long periods of exploitation. ILO’s concerns are justified.
Advisory appears just to convince ILO else the government should have acted immediately when the amendments were announced. Still doubtful if the intent is to ensure compliance of labour laws or just a paper work with leeway to states to go ahead with modifications in name of reforms.
