New Delhi, Sept 6 (KNN) Delhi Congress has launched a “Nyay Yudh” in the national capital to protest against the sealing of non-polluting household industries in Delhi.

Holding the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party responsible for the large-scale sealing of non-polluting household industries in Delhi, the Congress party, under the leadership of Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken, on Wednesday launched “Nyay Yudh” at Gandhi Nagar in East Delhi in the presence of over 30,000 people.

Thousands of people, who have been rendered unemployed due to the sealing, and the owners of small industries affected by it also participated in the “Nyay Yudh”.

According to a media report, Ajay Maken alleged that BJP and the AAP were both responsible for the sealing and people had been suffering because of their “anti-poor policies”.

Maken asked why the AAP government did not change the definition of household industries despite having agreed to do so in an all-party meeting.

Maken added, “The illegal sealing is not a political issue for the Congress but an emotional issue because till now, over 8 lakh people have been rendered jobless. Both the BJP and the AAP were not interested in settling this issue.”

He said the AAP was “determined to seal the household industries to benefit some favoured people”.

The party unanimously passed the three resolutions presented by Arvinder Singh Lovely against sealing with more than 30,000 people raising their hands in support.

The resolutions strongly condemned the BJP and AAP governments for the sealing of non-polluting household industries despite these industries having legal cover, and demanded from both the governments that on the basis of the legal cover given to the household industries in the Master Plan, the definition of household industries should be changed to make it from five employees to 11 employees, and from 5kv power to 11kv power.

The resolution also sought immediate implementation of this not only in Gandhi Nagar, but all over Delhi to save non-polluting household industries from sealing as also to save lakhs of people from unemployment. (Inputs from a media report)
