Make the February 12 nationwide strike a success!
The Trade Union Centre of India (TUCI) Central Committee has appealed to the working class of the country and all trade unions to make the February 12 nationwide strike a complete success.
The TUCI Central Committee has called for full participation of all state committees, district committees and affiliated trade unions in this strike.
The economic pact signed by the RSS-Modi government with the US has broken the record of all the treasons that have taken place so far. The Modi government has exchanged the elephant of India’s economic self-reliance with the US imperialist betel nu t. The US has been given the power to increase taxes on Indian products, and duty-free access to American products has been provided to India. As a result, the prices of Indian products have fallen both in the domestic and international markets.
On the contrary, a wide market and high profits have been ensured for American imperialist products in India. This is a dangerous development that will shake the entire economy of the country.
The burden of this betrayal is borne by the working class and the peasantry. The hard work of the workers is worthless, and both the price and market for the farmers’ products are being destroyed. This has caused great economic instability and the working class is in serious distress.
Already, in most areas of the country, workers are fighting a life-and-death struggle for minimum wages, job security and a dignified life. In such a situation, the central government is launching a major attack on the working class through four new labor laws. Similarly, it is taking steps towards abolishing the Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme.
It is an urgent need today to transform the February 12 strike across the country into a massive people’s movement against these anti-farmer-labor policies of the government and continue the struggle until victory.
Therefore, the TUCI Central Committee has appealed to all the workers, farmers, progressive organizations and democratic forces of the country to actively participate in this strike and express strong resistance to the anti-people policies of the government.
