Gandhi Slams Govt Over New Law Triggering Truck Drivers' Strike, Causing Fuel Disruptions
-
Rahul Gandhi criticized the government over the truck drivers' protest against the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita's provisions on road accidents.
-
He said making laws without discussion with affected groups attacks democracy's soul. Over 150 MPs were suspended while the "Shahenshah" enacted a law against drivers.
-
The law could have serious consequences for truck drivers, affecting their lives and opening doors for corruption.
-
The provisions have triggered strikes in many states, disrupting fuel supplies and causing panic buying.
-
Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla will meet the protesting drivers to hopefully resolve the issue amicably.
