Comrade Shankar Dasgupta, General Secretary, AIUTUC, in statement issued on 18 June 2021 strongly denounced the decision of the BJP led central government to corporatize Ordnance Factories Board (OFB) and subsuming 41 Ordnance Factories into 7 corporations. Obviously, this in process would pave the way to completely privatize the government-owned defence industry in pursuit of the policy of the successive central governments to totally privatize the key government-owned industries and public sector enterprises in tune with the policy of capitalist globalization.
Calling upon the working people to unleash a countrywide movement against this sinister move of the government, he also wholeheartedly extended support and solidarity with the nationwide action programme in protest on 19 June by the Federations in the defence sector.
