Press Statement
 
The Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Communist
Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), Revolutionary Socialist Party and All
India Forward Bloc have issued the following statement:
 
Complete Solidarity with the Ongoing Kisan Struggle
 
The Left parties extend their complete support to and solidarity with the
huge protests by the farmers of the country. Lakhs have converged around
Delhi demanding the withdrawal of the Agri laws, passed in the parliament in
a brazen anti-democratic manner, and the Electricity (Amendment) Bill.
 
Braving intense repression and in the midst of severe cold wave conditions,
lakhs of kisans have reached Delhi. However, they are not being permitted to
come to Parliament, as announced earlier, to present their demands. 
 
The Left parties call upon all their units in the country to coordinate and
organise joint solidarity protest actions in multifarious forms appropriate
to the concrete local situation. The calls given by the kisan organisations,
agricultural labour organisations and trade unions must be supported.
 
The Left parties demand that the Prime Minister and the Central government
accede to the demands of the protesting farmers for safeguarding Indian
agriculture, our food security, remunerative returns to kisans, prevent
artificial food shortages and rise in prices of essential commodities.
