WB: Buddha says child labour cannot be banned by Priyanka Gupta

West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya has courted another controversy by remarking on child labour.

"We can't ask them to stop work because that will affect their families' source of income."

The West Bengal Chief Minister is courting controversy with a statement saying it is not practical to ask children to stop working - this four years after child labour was officially banned across India. The best that can be done he says is ensure children study even as they work.

Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee feels children can study and also work.

He further said, "We have decided to make them study while at work".

Activists are up in arms. West Bengal hasn't yet framed rules to implement the Right to Education. And it does not have a commission for the protection of child rights either.

Prabir Basu, national convenor, spoke about campaign against child labour. "How can the chief minister say this?"

Partha Chatterjee, leader of opposition, slammed Buddhadeb, "Childhood is the time to play, enjoy study, they have ignored the core issue of poverty."

The Chief Minister drew flak not too long ago for asking primary teachers to canvass for the party. And with elections fast approaching, the Trinamool Congress has been quick to seize the opportunity to slam the state CPI M.

West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee in the eye of another storm. Says child labour cannot be banned. Will provide schemes that allow children to work and study.
