Marxist Leninist group backs bandh call
Description
Unity Centre of Communist Revolutionaries of India – Marxist Leninist (UCCRI M-L) has extended support to the call for ‘Bharat Bandh’ on December 8 given by various farmers’ organisations, expressing protest to the new farm policies. The Marxist Leninist group has opined that the farm laws were meant to favour big business houses to enter the business of production and distribution of agricultural commodities in a big way and control their prices, with an eye on making ‘super profits’ at the cost of the various strata of farmers and consumers. ‘Repeal laws’ “The demand for the repeal of these laws is justified and we support the same,” said its secretary Vinod in a press release. However, he also felt that the present laws on agricultural markets, MSP and essential commodities had neither helped the peasantry to secure a just price nor helped the produce reach the people at a fair price, but only benefited the middlemen belonging to the ruling parties.
