Now ‘politics’ on 90 hours work week, Congress said- Nehru, Ambedkar used to say this…

New Delhi: The debate on 90 hours work is going on in the country. Bigwigs from all sectors including Bollywood, business have strongly criticized the statement of L&T Chairman SN Subramanian, a big company in the engineering and construction sector, in which he advocated working 90 hours a week. Now this issue has become a topic of discussion in political corridors as well and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has also joined the ongoing debate on 90 Hours Work Week and has expressed disagreement with such a statement.

Gave example of Nehru-Ambedkar
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, while expressing disagreement with the statement of L&T Chairman on 90 hours work, has given the example of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. Congress Chief said that Pandit Nehru and BR Ambedkar also advocated that workers should not work more than eight hours a day.

First said thank you to L&T company, then…
According to the report of Business Today, Mallikarjun Kharge thanked L&T company before expressing disagreement on the issue of 90 hours of work a week. Actually, this company has constructed the new headquarters of Congress at 9A, Kotla Road in Delhi. In such a situation, Kharge laughed and said, ‘I want to say thank you to L&T Construction, there is some dues from our side too.’ He also thanked the architects of the company and the workers involved in the construction of the new headquarters.

Kharge said- ‘Such an idea should be abandoned’
After this, the Congress President referred to the comment of L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan and said that the company’s chairman has advised to work 90 hours a week and I do not agree with this, because workers cannot work more than 8 hours a day and Pandit Nehru and BR Ambedkar had said the same while making the Factory Act. Kharge did not stop here and he said that earlier someone asked for 9 hours of work, but now there is talk of 12 hours, 14 hours. They should abandon this idea.

What is the whole matter?
Now let us tell you what L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan said that he got trolled. In fact, during a video conferencing with the employees of his company, he advocated working 90 hours a week and said that I am sorry that I am not able to get you to work on Sunday, if I can get this done, I will be happier, because I myself work on Sunday.

Not only this, in this viral video broadcast on Reddit, the L&T chairman is not only seen advising to work 90 hours a week, but he even told the employees that, ‘How long will you stare at your wife by staying at home, spend less time at home and more time in the office.’ Then he started getting criticized on social media.

Gave example of Chinese work culture
While suggesting 90 Hours Work Week, the L&T chairman also gave an example of his conversation with a Chinese person. He said that the person had claimed that China can also overtake America, because Chinese employees work 90 hours a week, while America has a 50-hour work week. Giving this example, he asked his employees to answer, if you want to be on top of the world, you have to work 90 hours a week, go ahead, guys.
