“Every one of us is a
Grahak and acts as an important element in economics. Laws are many. In 1974 when ABGP was founded, it felt that
there should be one law for consumers.
After 12 years of struggle by ABGP, an Act came into being to mete out justice to consumers,” said Ashok Trivedi, ABGP
All India Secretary, at the‘National Consumer Rights Day’ programme organized by
the Chennai unit of ABGP on January 3, 2014 at Sita Kingston House Matric
school. He explained how consumers are exploited and pointed out that ‘consumer
resistance’ is the need of the hour and everyone should practice it.
