Delhi witnesses massive mobilisation of workers, peasants and agricultural workers.

The historic Mazdoor Kisan Sangarsh Rally, scheduled to be held at New Delhi today, was converted into a massive meeting at Ramleela Maidan. This is because, permission was not granted for the rally.  Workers, kisans, agricultural workers, as well as the employees of BSNL, LIC, Banks, Central government and State governments participated massively in this meeting. 

Com.K.Hemalata, President, CITU, Com.Ashok Dhawale, President, All India Kisan Sabha and Com.Vijayaraghavan, President, All India Agricultural Workers Union, presided over the meeting. The meeting was addressed by Com.Tapan Sen, General Secretary, CITU, Com.Vijoo Krishnan, General Secretary, AIKS, Com.B. Venkat, General Secretary, AIAWU and many other leaders addressed the meeting. 

Com.P. Abhimanyu, General Secretary, BSNLEU, addressed the meeting and explained how the Modi government is facilitating the big corporates to loot the wealth of the nation. Further, the GS, BSNLEU explained how the government is trying to convert BSNL into a sick company and there by paving the way for handing it over to the corporates, as Air India was handed over to the TATA’s. The GS, BSNLEU also told that, the working class is being divided in the name of God and religion. This is being done to stop the working class getting united and fight against the wrong economic policies of the government. 

Around 2,500 BSNL employees participated in today’s programme from all circles. The CHQ of BSNLEU heartily thanks the circle unions for taking efforts to mobilise the employees in the rally. The CHQ also thanks all the comrades who took the pains to travel long distances for participating in today’s meeting.
