INTUC Joint General Secretary of Jharkhand, Mahendra Mishra said, “The central government led by Narendra Modi, is working against the poor, labours, farmers and the youth and instead they are constantly helping out their capitalist friends.

Youth, labours and farmers are continuously protesting and for a past several months we have been protesting and then declared that on Feb 16 will be a bandh. You can see how farmers have reached the borders of Delhi and in attempts to stop them the police have been posted along with barricades, nail spikes have been setup along with other methods they are using to keep them away. The farmers are being treated badly and are being subjected to physical harm.

The farmers are requesting but no one is listening to them, youth are jobless but no one is listening. Labour courts have been reduced to 4. So just like that apart from the capitalist and industrialists, the rest of the country is suffering and are in unrest and now people have come to the streets. This protest will keep growing and will be happening all over the country.”
