Agartala, May 4: The opposition CPI (M) has threatened to lodgecomplaint with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) forobstructing them in holding programs in Tripura May Day.
The CPI (M) MP in Loksabha and left backed Centre of Indian TradeUnions (CITU) Tripura unit Secretary Sankar Prasad Datta said that theruling BJP workers obstructed them to host the celebration ofInternational Labour Day across the state and in few cases they weremanhandled when tried to observe the day.
“The BJP workers either attacked or prevent CITU leaders and workersagainst holding the events in connection with the celebration in manyplaces of Tripura. The bank employees, tea garden workers, brick kilnworkers and workers of other sectors could not observe theInternational Labour Day following threat from BJP,” Datta alleged.
He said India is the member of the ILO and May Day is the scheduledprogram of them but such violent activities have tarnish the image ofIndia and present government at the centre. Also, such activitiesviolated the basic norms of ILO as a member country.
The BJP denied the CITU allegations, saying that after losing powerthe CPI-M affiliated body cries in vain as they lost the support ofthe workers too was needlessly blaming the saffron part.
“If anything as such happened CITU leaders need to lodge complaintwith police first before moving to ILO. Actually, CPI (M) cadres areperpetrating nuisance across the state just to take revenge of tortureby their leaders. But CPM party could not able to name them becauseall the accused are from their party,” alleged BJP Vice PresidentSubal Bhowmik.
He pointed out that BJP party and none of it’s organisation did notallow such activities or any kind of violence but after CPI (M) lostthe election, the anti-socials and cadres started violence wearingsaffron scurf and caps across the state with the advice of CPI (M)leaders to malign BJP.
“In past two months after election results were announced more than500 such incidents were reported in media by CPI (M) leaders, includingforcing them to step down from the elected bodies but interestingly innone of the case they provide evidence of BJP’s involvement. Whoeverso far has been arrested were belong to CPI (M) till March 3 last andsuddenly change the dress colour but not having primary membership ofBJP, which established that CPIM is doing the mischief to harm BJP,”Bhowmik added.

New Delhi, Jan 11: The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) on Thursday condemned the Union Government’s decision to allow 49 percent FDI in the country’s national carrier, Air India. 
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved 49 percent FDI in Air India and 100 per cent FDI in single brand retail sector. 
The Left union said that the Modi Government had already decided to privatise Air India and now permitting 49 percent FDI would expedite the move. 
“This is nothing but complete foreignisation of the national carrier – a public sector company with its huge asset base and a high-revenue earning international service network”, the Union said in a statement.
The Government is justifying the privatisation move by highlighting the huge loss made by the airline. The government is, however hiding the fact how Air India was pushed into a bad situation, thanks to disastrous decisions imposed on it by successive governments at the Centre, the Union alleged. 
“Hasty merger of Indian Airlines and Air India, forcible procurement of huge fleet of aircraft from foreign companies through direct purchase at an in-opportune time thereby imposing on the company an unbearable burden of indebtedness leading to loss”, the CPI (M) affiliated union said.
The CITU pointed out that Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, comprising of representatives of all the political parties including BJP, had unanimously recommended not to privatising Air India. 
The CITU also lashed out at the Centre that when privatisation of national assets becomes the main goal of the Government then such destructive decision of foreignisation of national carrier is being taken by the Govt completely unconcerned of the national interests.
It also said by allowing 100 per cent FDI in single brand retail trade will further increase the hardship of traditional retail trade sector which is the second biggest livelihood giver after agriculture and expedites the ruin of the traditional retail trade sector. UNI

Alleging that much publicised Centre sponsored schemes for farmers have proved illusory, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) state president Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami today


Srinagar, Jul 19 :  Alleging that much publicised Centre sponsored schemes for farmers have proved illusory, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) state president Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami today said the real issue which farmers are facing and demanding since long is fair price for their produce. “Much publicised schemes like Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) and Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) have proved illusory,” said Mr Tarigami while addressing a one-day convention held by Jammu and Kashmir Kisan Tehreek (JKKT) in south Kashmir. In the case of PMFBY, Mr Tarigami, who is the lone CPI (M) MLA, said the allocation has overwhelmingly gone to pay private insurance companies rather than to benefit farmers. He said the present allocation for irrigation will not even mean Rs 10,000 per hectare of unirrigated land under PMKSY. “The real issue which farmers are facing and demanding since long is fair price for their produce by ensuring a minimum support price for all crops to cover the production plus 50 per cent profit,” he said. He demand despite repeated promise/assurances has not been conceded till date. Mr Tarigami stressed that all the kisan unions irrespective of their affiliations must come together for a united struggle to get their legitimate demands viz waiver of loans and minimum support price accepted. He appealed to the peasants/farmers to come out of any illusions and prepare for united struggles. UNI
