In Solidarity with the All India Protest on 13 August 2025!

While the Modi government is set to celebrate the ‘Independence Day’ celebrations with much fanfare on the one hand, the regime is surrendering to the diktats of US-led imperialist powers, on the other. This is amply reflected in the government’s apologetic approach towards Trump’s punitive tariff threats on India’s import of oil from Russia, in continuation of his resolve to impose 25% tariff on Indian exports to US and pry open Indian market for US agribusiness companies.
In the same vein, the India-UK Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) already signed by Modi government is going to transform India as a dumping ground for British dairy, agricultural and healthcare products. The consequent flooding of Indian markets with dairy, meat and other agricultural items will devastate the farmers who are already suffering from corporate control over both input and output markets of agriculture.
Of course, these moves which are detrimental to workers, farmers and common people are not isolated or overnight developments, but are part of the far-right, pro-corporate policies systematically pursued by the RSS-led fascist Modi regime over the past more than one decade as per the neoliberal diktats from imperialist regimes and neocolonial institutions such as IMF, World Bank and WTO. Under such pseudo-nationalist slogans as ‘Vishwaguru’, ‘Vikshit Bharat’, ‘Make in India’s, etc., and merging itself with crony capitalists like Adani and Ambani, the Modi regime has been superimposing all the pro-corporate labour, tax and environmental policies on the people who are suffering from unprecedented poverty, unemployment, price-rise, inequality, destitution and fascist repression and other disastrous consequences.
In this context, we appeal to the working class, peasants, youth, students, and all oppressed including religious minorities, Dalits, oppressed women and all democratic forces to rise up and join the country-wide protest called by Central Trade Unions and Samyukt Kisan Morcha with the slogan “Quit India, again”!
Imperialists and MNCs Quit India!
Down with Corporate-Fascism and Imperialism!
