Hitting out at the Narendra Modi-led government over the passage of labour bills, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi accused the Centre of exploiting the poor of the country to ‘benefit friends’. Parliament on Wednesday approved three key labour reform bills that will remove impediments to winding up of companies and allow firing of staff without government permission in firms with up to 300 workers from the existing 100. Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter on Thursday and alleged that after farmers, the government has attacked the labour class with the passage of the three bills. "After farmers, now a strike on the labour class. Exploiting poor for the benefit of friends defines Modi ji's rule,” Rahul Gandhi wrote in Hindi on Twitter as he shared a report on Parliament passing key labour reform bills.
