PM Modi bats for labour sector's contribution
In a tweet on Friday evening, PM Modi said that the senior government officials had discussed ways through which the labourers can "power India's growth."
While different countries such as the US, UK, Cuba and China celebrate International Labour Day for various reasons such as revolting against industrial exploitation, rising of the working class, and coming together as a union to fight against "unjust" systems by demanding better wages, improved working conditions, paid leaves and other non-financial incentives, in India its origins are more humble.
