Successful Mahapadav Congratulations to Workers and Farmers of the Country!

The Central Trade Unions and Samyukta Kisan Morcha congratulate the workers and farmers for successful three day Mahapadav.

The platform of Central Trade Unions and Independent Sectoral Federations/Associations and Samyukta Kisan Morcha congratulate the workers and farmers for the successful Mahapadav for three days from 26th November to 28th November on their pressing issues as per the charter of demands and the action programme adopted in the historic All India Joint Convention of Workers and Farmers on 24th August at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi. Demands included the fixation of Minimum Support Price (MSP) on farmer's produce on the formula given by Dr Swaminathan Commission, withdrawal of cases on farmer's during 13 month long sitting at Delhi borders, compensation to the martyred farmers’ during agitation, punishment to the culprits of Lakhimpur Kheri killings, resignation of Minister of state for home, withdrawal of Electricity Amendment Bill, withdrawal of four labour codes, stop privatisation of Public Sector enterprises, end to corporate loot, filling of sanctioned posts, address the unemployment issue, withdraw the raised prices on essential commodities, provide  affordable education and health services, water and basic civic facilities etc.

There was an extensive campaign carried by both the fronts, Central Trade Unions' platform and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha since the joint Convention.

Despite the objections raised, cases registered against leaders and many obstacles created, the massive campaign and then three day Mahapadav has been a great success. Millions of workers and farmers were part of these campaigns and Mahapadav.

The leaders addressed these programmes and emphasized that the BJP led Union Government has failed on all counts making the life of people miserable, worked mainly against the interest of nation to the advantage of corporates of Indian and foreign brand. On the other hand, all out oppressive measures by misusing government institutions and various laws to suppress the voice of any opposition to the government policies has been the hallmark of this rule. The forces of communal divide and hatred are given tacit support from the ruling circles vitiating the peace and harmony in the society.

This ruling regime does not honour Indian constitution and stands with the violators. They do not deserve to rule the great country with diverse beliefs, cultures, languages and social milieu.

The leaders told that after review of Mahapadav programmes, the next stage of agitations would be planned by the CTUs and SKM independently and in coordination.
