Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Congratulations to Working Class on Successful General Strike

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the
working class of our country on the successful general strike today.
Peasants and agricultural workers joined the working class in protesting
against the notification of the four labour codes, the virtual repeal of the
rights based Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, along
with other anti-worker, anti-farmer, and anti-people policies of the BJP-led
Union government.

 

The working class made its voice heard loud and clear. The CPI(M) reiterates
its solidarity with the workers, farmers, and agricultural workers who are
protesting the various anti-people policies of the BJP government.

 

The government should immediately rescind the notification of the four
labour codes and ensure that the hard-won rights of workers are protected.
It should rescind the VB-GRAMG legislation, call back the proposal for
privatisation of electricity distribution and withdraw the seed bill as
well. It should also withdraw from the various Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)
and trade deals it has signed, particularly with the US and Europe, as they
are detrimental to the interests of Indian workers, farmers and people in
general.
