Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, met with a delegation of LIC agents at his office in the Parliament House complex in New Delhi. The agents expressed concerns about recent changes in rules by the IRDAI and LIC, which they fear will make insurance less affordable for the poorest and most marginalized communities and weaken their position as agents.
Gandhi stated that the LIC was founded in 1956 with the goal of providing affordable insurance to all Indians, particularly the poorest who had no other social security. He has promised to raise this issue in Parliament to ensure that the inclusive vision of LIC is protected.
