In a medley of red flag and banners, Delhi IFTU Committee's May Day Rally walked from Ram Lila Maidan to Jantar Mantar against rising contractualizaion. They expressed support to the fighting patriotic people of Iraq and Afghanistan and to the anti displacement struggles of the peasantry in India.
At Jantar Mantar IFTU leaders addressed a mass meeting and targetted mainly the prise rise. They said that the rising proces were the result of the anti agriculture, pro corporate and pro MNC policies of the ruling classes of India. They demanded the arrest of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chidambaram the Finance Minister for treason, for making this rich country with its productive land and abundant natural resources dependent on import of foodgrains. The truth is that less and less people in India are getting enough to eat and this situation is because of the government's policies.
IFTU leaders condemned growing contractualization and non-implementation of labour laws. Need based minimum wage even for the organized sector was a distant dream. They called on workers to intensify struggle for jobs and rights and to lead people's struggles aginst price rise. |
