Today, Union Minister and Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar in Rajya Sabha said, “73 yrs after independence, labourers are getting the right they had been waiting for. The Bills guarantee wage, social & health security”. He added on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, Industrial Relations Code & Code on Social Security Bill.
“When a Bill that assures wage security, social security and health security to 50 crore labourers has been brought, the Opposition is absent because they are distanced from the public,” he added.
Therefore, Rajya Sabha has passed three labour codes, without the presence of any opposition.
