Equal treatment

Published on: 

Sir — This refers to the article, “Who will take care of private sectorIJ” (July 6) by Shivaji Sarkar. It will be unfortunate if the Government sits on the laurel of being a model employer to its own employees, letting those in the private and unorganised sector, to be exploited by the market force.

The future of the citizens of our country is being forced to make their elders unemployed. If child labour is replaced with employable working force then it will redress the problem of unemployment and labour exploitation. The Government should be lauded for acting like a mother to its  employees but it cannot give a step-motherly treatment to other workers. It is a constitutional duty of the Government to implement stringent labour laws and welfare schemes for all workers.
