CAIT aghast at SC order, seeks moratorium Bill

Staff Reporter

The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Tuesday expressed utter dismay over Supreme Court’s decision to stay the proposed amendments to “Master Plan-2021” by the Central Government to provide relief to the traders from ongoing sealing. The traders’ body has also convened a meeting of leaders of prominent trade associations to chalk out future course of action.

CAIT secretary general Praveen Khandelwal said, “Since now no other way is left, the Central Government should take cognisance and immediately table a Bill in the current session of Parliament to issue a moratorium on sealing in the national Capital.”

Khandelwal said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should also come in action and convene a one-day special session of Assembly and pass a Bill to stop sealing and forward it to the Centre for its approval.

CAIT delegation will soon meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Urban Development Minister Hardeep Puri, Delhi lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and Kejriwal requesting them to bring a Bill in Parliament, he added.
