- Stop price hike and introduce state trading of all essential commodities.
- Provide permanent employment to the unemployed and reinstatement of the retrenched workers.
- Provide remunerative price to the produce of the peasants, supply them all inputs at a cheaper rate and waive all forms of loans of the peasants.
- Withdraw utterly anti-people so-called ‘National Education Policy, 2019’ and ‘National Medical Commission’ Act and all other anti-people educational and medical policies of the governments. The government must at once stop fee increase in medical and other educational institutions and commercialization, saffronization of education.
- Adopt stringent measures to prevent all kinds of atrocities on women andprompt judgments and punished of the guilty person.
We call up on the people to form people’s committees and enroll volunteers to develop well organized sustained mass movements in the country to achieve the above demands. We appeal to the people to fully involve themselves to make this General Strike on 8th January a grand success.”
