National Advisory Council chairperson Sonia Gandhi has requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to give “suitable directions” to rescue the MNREGA and ensure that all workers get paid in accordance with the Minimum Wages Act (1948).
In a letter dated November 11, Sonia Gandhi, who is also UPA chairperson, has appended a 10-page note on the subject. The note details the concerns and outlines the legal arguments in support of paying workers at least minimum wages prevalent in states.
Terming the matter as “urgent”, Sonia Gandhi cites the “general agreement” at the last meeting of the NAC while exhorting the PM to “have it examined and give suitable directions.”
Other than outlining the controversy over wages under the MNREGA, the note includes suggestions as well as cites legal advice tendered by Additional Solicitor General of India Indira Jaising.
