hartal

The widespread support for the hartal manifested the anger of the people against the anti-people measures taken by the UPA government. The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands of the Manmohan Singh government that it cancel the FDI in retail, the disinvestment of public sector shares, rollback the price hike of diesel and restriction on gas cylinders. The struggle against these anti-people measures should be intensified in the coming days. 

The call given by the thirteen parties for a countrywide hartal against price rise on April 27 has met with a big response in most parts of the country.The success of the hartal shows the anger and discontent among the people at the failure of the Central Government to check price rise.
