Goyal says strong feedback will help prepare robust e-commerce policy

Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday said “strong feedback” will help in preparing a robust e-commerce policy even as he termed reports of differences within the government on the proposed policy as efforts to “sensationalise any feedback”.

Stating that it is elementary to get feedback on the draft rules, the minister said, “this speaks of the robust way of the working of the Modi government which is willing to engage with stakeholders and take different points of view on board and come up with a successful policy”.

Goyal was replying to a query on media reports on difference of opinion among various ministries and government think-tank Niti Aayog on the draft e-commerce rules.
