The national president of the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) Baji Nath Rai criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government at the Centre for trying to amend the labour laws without discussion with the trade unions. BMS is a co-organization of the Hindu nationalist organisation, Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Speaking at a conference on labour reforms here on Friday, Mr. Rai said that BMS had urged the Centre not go for a “total reform” of the labour laws.
“We have objected to it and asked the Centre not to do so,” he said while speaking in a panel discussion on ‘Labour Reforms In India’ organised by the Indian Chanber of Commerce (ICC).
The Centre had proposed major reforms in the Factories Act and the Apprentices Act along with other labour laws.
