Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of making deliberate attempts to weaken labour-related laws which was creating dissatisfaction among the workers. Alleging that Prime Minister Modi has launched a big assault on the workers, Mr Gandhi vowed to fight their battle like the Congress did for the farmers on the land acquisition bill. He was speaking at the 31st Plenary Session of INTUC, the trade union wing of the Congress.<br/><br/>Mr Gandhi said the labour laws were being diluted to make labourers work by force, and under fear. He said that India would surpass China in no time if Prime Minister is able to remove fear from the mind of the workers.<br/>Speaking on the occasion, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said the dissatisfaction of workers with the anti-labour economic policies of the NDA Government was obvious from the one day strike observed in the country this September.
