Pathetic.What does Chamling have to say on this?I guess his answer would be that the children are outsiders.
most of them work in the minister’s houses hehe..and the rest 31 are the MLAs..who work for the CM heheh
So what 16457 child labour ? Are they i mean , 31 MLAs, Chairmans & Chairpersons, Advisors , member in commissions and committes etc.,…. are not Chamling’s labour???? Shame on them….., they should look at the mirror and ask themselves…are we human being?//
