    "content": "the Ministry of Labour, must resolve this matter urgently and quickly. We must also speak to the unions of this country. Sometimes, strikes have to follow some process. You do not just wake up and ask your members to go on strike. I saw it with nurses. I do not know where we are headed to because now even the lives of the people do not matter. It is really immoral and unjustified. We may play politics of populism but the truth of the matter is that the latest strike we are dealing with today, in my view, all avenues had not been exhausted. The union should have allowed engagement. Parliament is on the matter through the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and through the people’s representatives. I saw my friend Babu getting agitated. He should not be agitated because we have the platform; that is, the House and reports will be tabled. The Public Accounts Committee is here and the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing report is coming too. We can ventilate. This thing is still at a very early or preliminary stage. It was irresponsible to shut our airports. They have been shut for no reason at all. Whatever they are saying, even a concept paper or policy paper has not come from the Government. People have just spoken. We cannot take any street talk to be law. This House will deal with all these matters."
