In
Gujarat, 4391 child labors were ‘rescued’ during 1999 to 2010. This is the
efficiency of Modi government. The word ‘rescued’ needs explanation. The labor
department gives incense stick kit for the so-called rehabilitation of child
labor. Manufacturing of incense stick is banned under child labor (prohibition
and regulation) Act, 1989. The ‘rescued’ children are tortured by their
parents, owners and juvenile homes, where they were sent by ‘child helpline’
(!). And do you want to know how many children were ‘rescued’ in 2002? Just
nine. During that fateful year government machinery was busy in counting human
skulls.
