Congress supports truckers' stir

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 2 January 2024
The Congress on Tuesday came out in support of truckers' protest against a new law on stricter punishment in hit-and-run cases, saying the misuse of the legislation can lead to an "extortionist network" and "organised corruption". ​​Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge accused the government of "penalising the poor" while stalling investment in the infrastructure sector. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also slammed the Modi government, saying the law "against the drivers", which was passed in Parliament when 150 MPs were suspended, could have "fatal consequences".
