NEW DELHI: Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce a financial package for the revival of the MSME sector, saying if ignored, the problem can have a devastating and expansive ripple effect on the country’s economy.
In a letter to Modi, Gandhi also made some suggestions for the revival of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), which is reeling under the adverse impact of the coronavirus lockdown.
She urged the prime minister to announce a Rs 1 lakh crore “MSME Wage Protection” package as also a credit guarantee fund of an equivalent amount, besides a 24X7 helpline for helping them out of this crisis. (AGENCIES)
