Days after the Rajya Sabha passed the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) bill 2012, Nobel Laureate Kailash Satyarthi put the Centre on the mat saying the proposed legislation was driven by arguments that reflected an age-old mindset, complacency and apathy towards children. Satyarthi met handful of parliamentarians on Wednesday hoping to convince them to bring about changes in the bill. The bill is expected to get smooth passage in the Lok Sabha.
