Left parties urge people to support ‘Bharat Bandh’ today

The Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, All India Forward Bloc, Revolutionary Socialist Party and Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) have issued the following statement.

Appeal to people to Support the Bharat Bandh, September 27, Called by Samyukta Kisan Morcha

The historic Kisan Struggle demanding the repeal of the Agri-laws and a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price is continuing in its 10th month.

The Modi government continues to remain obdurate and is refusing to engage with struggling kisans through talks.

The Left Parties while condemning this obstinacy of the Modi government demand that these Agri-laws be repealed immediately, guaranteed MSP be implemented, scrap the National Monetisation Pipeline and repeal the Labour Codes.

The Left Parties call upon all their units to actively work for the success of Bharat Bandh.

The Left Parties appeal to the people to support this Bharat Bandh.

Farmer organisations have called a “Bharat Bandh” today as part of their long protest seeking withdrawal of three farm laws that they allege will give power to private firms to take over the agriculture sector.

This will be the third Bharat Bandh called by the SKM and the Kisan Unions expect the bandh to be an effective one.

The Bandh started from 6 am to 4 pm. Transport and markets are expected to remain shut on a large scale during this period.
