Rajendra, Boston, says: I guess a temporary worker can not expect same salary as a permanent employee. This disparity exists in Govt sector also. Further its not the management who is responsible for this type of issues but rather than the Govt itself. As per the current labour laws you can not hire / fire the workers at your will. So the mgmt takes workers as temporary/contractors and give them low salary and then fire them after 3/6 months to avoid making them permanent. Govt needs to think and make labour laws more flexible in a manner so as to give benifit to both the workers and a company.

Anupam Gupta, Newcastle UK, says: what rubbish! rather than establishing the rule of law by getting these killers punished, the minister is acting like a trade union leader. No wonder that nobody is safe in this congress "misrule". I would have bought his argument if the news of Mr Chaudhary feeling insecure would not have emerged. It simply meant that there was clear threat to his life and this incidence was not accidental but a planned one. Highly irresponsible one Mr Minister. Ministers in this government whenever they open their mouth, show their intellectual level and make one realize the importance of keeping mum when you don't want to expose your foolishness.

Vinay Gowda, Bangalore, says: The minister seems to be supporting the employees who have murdered the CEO rather and threatening management. The reason being that the employees being pushed too much. A cabinet minister should be reprimanding these ruthless murderers rather than protect them. If the minister feels it is due to the difference in the pay scales then he should have worked towards solving the issue long back and this scenario would not have happened. Let me ask one question Majorities i.e. we Hindus are being pushed too hard in the same way by the Government appeasing the minorities all the time so VHP or Bajrang Dal can kill, loot and harm the minorities and Oscar Fernandes should warn the Government and minorities in this regard rigth ???

Anirud, Singapore, says: If your report is accurate (which often is not), what is this man's point? That it is okay to beat people to death when you are discontented? So should all Indian citizens beat Oscar Fernandes to death or worse, quarter him because he is a member of the most corrupted nexus which has done little for salaried, law-abiding, tax-paying individuals?
