SHRI N. K. PREMACHANDRAN (KOLLAM): Sir, under sub-rule 2 of the Rule 72 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, I would like to oppose the introduction of the Code on Social Security, 2019 on the following grounds. There are three grounds.
          The first ground by which I oppose the introduction of the Bill is various provisions of the Bill curtails the existing benefits of workers which is against the mandate of the ILO Convention.

PROF. SOUGATA RAY (DUM DUM): Under Rule 72 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, I beg to oppose the introduction of the Code on Social Security, 2019.  This Bill says that it is a follow up of the Labour Conference held in 2003.  It is a sixteen years old Convention which is being brought here and so many Acts are there like Employees Provident Fund Act, Employees State Insurance Act.  They want to put everything in the same Bill. This is what the capitalists, industrialists and Chambers of Commerce of the country want. No central trade union has ever demanded the social security legislation should be brought under one umbrella.   This idea of bringing labour code is a punishment to the workers. If you see, they have made it more complicated instead of making it simple. Separate Acts were there to take recourse when our provident fund dues were not given and when the ESI dues were not deposited by the owners.  We should take recourse to the legislation. That is why, now they have linked this to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, the NCLT is not able to deal with all the problems. Now they are making it further complicated. That is why, I say that I am opposed to the introduction of the Bill. It should be immediately referred to the Standing Committee on Labour headed by Shri Bhartruhari Mahtab.
