Asserting that the consumer protection is priority of the government, he called upon the industry to work alongside his ministry in the interest of consumers.
"Multiple languages are spoken in India. We cannot promote Hindi alone. The industry should go for labelling in Hindi and regional languages where ever they are widely spoken," he said at a Ficci organised event here.
In countries like China, Japan and the EU, labels are printed in their own languages. "Whereas India continues to use English as if we don't have our own language," he said.
"In case of water bottle, you may not be able to print all details on the label in Hindi and regional languages but at least, you can print the brand name," Paswan said and lauded the Bisleri company for adopting labelling in the local language.
