Punjab’s "anti-child labour" seminars are performative fluff, masking systemic failures and offering no real solutions.
FO Take · Score 10
Another seminar, another round of platitudes. Punjab’s government pats itself on the back while children continue to toil in brick kilns. These performative gatherings are a charade, an insult to the exploited children they purport to help. Until concrete action replaces virtue-signalling, expect nothing to change. When will accountability trump empty rhetoric?
The strongest counter
Seminars raise awareness and are a vital first step in galvanising public support and government action against child labour. Condemning them outright ignores their potential as catalysts for change.
