RSS labour wing, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, is planning to hold protest against the changes introduced in labour laws by BJP-ruled MP and UP governments.
While those supporting move felt this will give flexibility to industry, labour law experts called ordinance 'atrocious' that will result in termination of all permanent employees' services.
The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government passed an ordinance Friday exempting businesses from all labour laws except three for the next three years.
The parliamentary panel on labour has also asked govt to clarify whether employers should continue paying wages if establishments are forced shut by a natural calamity.
Labour reforms bill to be tabled in Parliament Wednesday proposes to include fixed-term employment as a new category, mass CL in definition of ‘strike’.
This year, Jawan and The Kerala Story both won National Awards. The irony was impossible to miss. One critiqued the system, the other endorsed its narratives. The dichotomy says more about India’s cultural schizophrenia than any film review ever could.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Every child accepts certain short coming of the parents, which are never to be spoken about in public, as a mark of respect and appreciation of a great lot of good done by them. Nation and Congress in particular has such reservations about their leaders, just as the BJP.
For all the good these leaders from both the parties have done to the nation , it is petty to talk about swagger being lost etc.
Is it not possible that Vaipayee had a swagger under via-a vis Rss because of the coalition compulsions and the current pracharak Modi has none.
Today at least we have a leader who cannot be blackmailed for his personal deeds in the past.
may be he cannot be blackmailed for his personal deeds in the past; can he be sued at the international court of justice for crimes against humanity?
No public leader can be blackmailed, because if there is a suspicion about some act of theirs, they are openly questioned. Shouldn’t Narendra Modi be questioned about the Rafale?
If the RSS wants to survive as the representative of a RELIGION, then it should immediately DE-LINK itself from the Modi-Shah BJP. Otherwise they will be called poster boys of the ONLY RELIGION in the world THAT PREACHES HATRED.
This is a deadly serious advise.
The author has chosen to use the word ‘bridesmaid’ to describe the reduced role the RSS is playing in the current governance system. The word implies a lack of pre-eminence, but so does ‘groomsman’ – yet bridesmaid has been chosen. At the cost of sounding woke, should we sterilise our language? Or should the richness of language be retained especially when we have bigger fish to fry? What is the right course of action?
If Modi were to toe the Sangh’s line on economic, trade, security & foreign policies, he’d become a left-wing socialist with an unpopular social engineering project to his name. That wouldn’t advance Modi’s interests nor that of the RSS which the RSS hasn’t understood yet. Right-wing social policies must be bolstered with right-wing economic policies to pass muster at the high table.
They are one and the same. and neither is acceptable. not any more. not after what happened.
wait for 2024 election.
Maybe thats why he won the 2019 elections with a bigger, if not humongous mandate than 2014.
Why should the source of the views, influence et. Al matter to the Nation (and the media). We will be better off as a Nation, to debate the quality of the views and suggestions rather than their origins, thus missing the woods for the trees. With no mileage coming as a matter of course, this may also encourage the “origins” to concentrate on quality rather than self promotion.
The media should take responsibility to channel the Nation’s thoughts to issues rather to organisations and individuals. Else, as happens now, issues don’t get the attention they deserve while individuals and organisations, willy nilly, get promoted.
Author is interesting to get down immage of modijee… But he is fail to do it. Rss, vhp and bjp, all are on one page… This media group is also with same moto.. Print and wire are frustrated now
Y u Lutyens media r cribbing like opposition parties. As long as Modi is alive he will be the PM. RSS is a social organisation doing exemplary service during this corona crisi. The more you media critices Modi his popularity increases. So keep doing it.
The article is nothing more then an expression of the hallucinations of the author. Just because the author desires something doesn’t mean it’s actually happening.
Right, so Modi has not tamed RSS.
MODI IS RSS!
and that does NOT make him more attractive.
All along those opposed to BJP/RSS/VHP are just waiting for an opportunity to pounce upon any chance to create discord among them. So far they have failed, so also in future. The majority community requires a strong ally to ward off any attempt to balkanisation of Hindustan.
Why waste time in discussing about this fascist party in India? They are in the history’s dustbin and people will kick them out in the coming election, you take it for granted.A party of gangsters…thugs…liars and what not.Also they are illiterate in handling the govt. Notorious party ever reigned in India!!Worst that the Mughals and British !!!
Are you sure enough if elections will be held anymore ?
good question! seeing how they are more and more brazen and seem not to care that people are beginning to see through the sham, this is a distinct possibility. be afraid, be very afraid. and then do something about it.
Very appropriate observation by Mr. Santosh Banerjee. The worst ever Loudmouth and liar India had elected in 2014… thanks to the money might of Ambanis and Adanis etc. With the sole aim of capturing all the Institutions and breaking the limbs of all democratic opposition and ultimately purchasing even the most profitable Govt. Navaratna Companies for a pittance. Kicking the poorest of the poors in the name of their Hindutwa Agenda and befooling the country of opportunity seeking AndhGobarBhakats…Gobar n Gaumutra filled mind, thoughts and souls…..

Politically it may be an appropriate process to test the waters for the ultimate amendment of the labour laws sometime in the future. The current situation provides the perfect background to undertake the exercise.
On the other hand, is it not time to re-examine the issues to arrive at a pragmatic way forward to protect the interests of labour while providing a healthy base for the development of industry.
One area is the hire and fire policy – Businesses in India has worked around that with the introduction of contract labour. But has an appropriate assessment been undertaken for evaluating the impact of costs to the business and the economic goals of better distribution of wealth in the economy. It promotes the culture of middleman (contractor) in the economy. A feature that has manifest itself in other aspects of our economic life. Increasingly this role has acquired undertone of politics in the country.
The current economic and political situation provides a near perfect situation for a rational analysis and forging a new way forward. But the reality is that we have not witnessed such an analysis in the decision making process thus far, in my understanding. The analysis been conducted today is essentially indulging in analysis with pre-determined outcomes – it seems to me. .
The RSS has more than 100 affiliate organisations of which BJP is one, all of them working independently, with their individual programmes and policies. To expect agreement on all issues is moronic. But Singh slyly suggests disharmonious relationships between RSS and its affiliates, to boost the morale of opponents who do not know much about it. Keep banging against the wall Singh, RSS does not loose anything
DK Singh is trying to sow discord among the various Sangh outfits. Not a new tactic, I have seen it put to good use by journalists all the time to try and break an org that they dislike. Read, and ignore.

Well, it is clear that Modi is more acceptable to people than RSS.
They are one and the same. and neither is acceptable. not any more. not after what happened.

This a deliberate effort to create rift between RSS and Modi and denigrate modi. There is no truth in the contents.
Author is interesting to get down immage of modijee… But he is fail to do it. Rss, vhp and bjp, all are on one page… This media group is also with same moto.. Print and wire are frustrated now
This sounds like the same people earlier saying that Sonia Gandhi controlled Manmohan Singh.
Y u Lutyens media r cribbing like opposition parties. As long as Modi is alive he will be the PM. RSS is a social organisation doing exemplary service during this corona crisi. The more you media critices Modi his popularity increases. So keep doing it.
