Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra came in support of truckers who are protesting the new penal provisions related to hit-and-run cases. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, she noted the Centre must stop making laws without consultation.
In her post, Ms. Gandhi said, “Drivers are the wheels of our economy and progress. They work with very little money, face various hardships and lead a tough lifestyle. The law and system should be humane towards them.” “Every life is precious. It is the duty of the government to protect everyone. The purpose of the law is to make the life of the common person easy, safe and fair and not to push millions of people towards oppression, extortion, imprisonment and financial bankruptcy,” she said.
The work of making Tughlaqi laws unilaterally, without consultation and without involving the Opposition, should stop, Ms. Gandhi asserted. “Agricultural law against farmers. Labor law against workers. Citizenship law against citizens. Why does this government always make laws against the people?” she asked in another post.
