Left Parties Salute People For The Spontaneous Upsurge Of Protests

 

The Left parties hail the spontaneous response of the people to the call for nation-wide protest and hartal against the unprecedented hike in the prices of petroleum products and other stiff economic burdens being heaped by this Modi government.

Massive Response to Protest Day

The widespread support for the hartal manifested the anger of the people against the anti-people measures taken by the UPA government. The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands of the Manmohan Singh government that it cancel the FDI in retail, the disinvestment of public sector shares, rollback the price hike of diesel and restriction on gas cylinders. The struggle against these anti-people measures should be intensified in the coming days. 

Roll Back This Hike

The CPI(M) calls upon all its units to organize strong protest actions against the imposition of such severe economic burdens. The CPI(M) calls upon all secular opposition forces to unite in protests to force the UPA II government to roll back this unreasonable hike in the prices of diesel and limiting cooking gas cylinders.
