NEW DELHI: Former prime minister Manmohan Singh has joined the chorus against the government's decision to freeze dearness allowance of its employees earlier this week, saying the the move was unnecessary at this stage.
Congress on Saturday morning released a video sharing views of its senior leaders who are part of an internal consultative committee formed to deliberate on national issues.
According to a person aware of developments, the video was part of an online meeting of the committee which took place on Friday. "We should be on the side of people whose dearness allowance has been cut.
I sincerely believe that this is not necessary at this stage to impose hardship on government servants and also on the armed forces at the same time,"
