Tharoor Questions India's Abstention on Gig Workers Rights Vote
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has criticized India's abstention from a vote on gig workers' rights at a Geneva convention, calling it a "national disgrace." He questioned the government's decision to not support the resolution, which aimed to ensure basic rights and protections for gig and platform workers. Tharoor stated that India's abstention undermines its commitment to labor welfare and international labor standards. The vote took place at the International Labour Organization (ILO) conference.
