Kharge criticizes 90-hour work week proposal during L&T headquarters event in Delhi

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has criticized Larsen & Toubro Chairman S N Subrahmanyan's suggestion for a 90-hour work week. Kharge emphasized that historical figures like Jawaharlal Nehru and B.R. Ambedkar supported an eight-hour workday. Kharge made these comments while thanking L&T for its new headquarters in Delhi. He stated that laborers should not work more than eight hours a day and expressed disagreement with the idea of extended work hours. Subrahmanyan's remarks have faced backlash for undermining work-life balance and for perceived sexist comments. L&T's Head of HR clarified that his words were misinterpreted, leading to unnecessary criticism.
