-- G Nagayya, Paladugu Bhaskar, T Sagar call at CITU--AIKS--AIAWU joint meeting

In 1982, ten leaders were killed on the spot in the indiscriminate firing by the then government on a workers' and peasant demonstration for the rights of the peasantry in Tamil Nadu. Telangana Agricultural Workers' Union state president G Nagaiah, CITU state general secretary Paladugu Bhaskar and Telangana Rythu Sangham state general secretary T Sagar have called for holding seminars under the aegis of three unions on January 19 at district and mandal centres across the state to commemorate their struggle. A meeting was held with the leaders of CITU, Telangana Rythu Sangam and Telangana Agricultural Workers Union at the sangha state office near RTC X Road in Hyderabad. He said that the demands raised by the workers and peasants at that time have not been fulfilled even today. On January 19, on a working class demonstration in Uttar Pradesh's Benares city, hegde said the then Congress government in power had tried to suppress the movement with the detention of the police using the machine to open fire. He said that the BJP government, which came to power today, is trying to convert 44 labour laws into three codes in the name of labour codes and resort to forced labour exploitation. "We are trying to bring in three black laws and hand over the agriculture sector to the corporate forces, privatise the entire market, privatize the power sector and collect money by installing meters in the borewells of the farmers," he said. He said that a conspiracy will be hatched to remove the Rural Employment Guarantee Act from being implemented. In the name of online payment and online master-Aadhaar card linkage, the government is trying to reduce the number of labourers, he said. He said the budget has completely reduced the funds and this has resulted in large-scale reduction in working days.
