27 September 2021 Bharat Bandh : Bharat Bandh News Latest Update

Farmers’ groups and trade unions have called for a Bharat Bandh on Monday, claiming it will have an impact on all sectors, including banks, trains, and roads, but excluding medical emergency services from the disruption. There is a bandh planned by all opposition parties to protest “anti-people” reform measures such as farm laws, labour codes, asset monetization pipelines, etc., according to the Samyukt Kisan Morcha and Central Trade Unions (CTUs).

In addition to the Left parties, the SKM reported that “the RJD and NCP have put out statements in support of the Bharat Bandh”. The ruling LDF party in Kerala has backed the bandh.

A coalition of Left-leaning parties has claimed that the Modi government is stubbornly refusing to engage in dialogue with the country’s poorest residents.

To protest against the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) and the planned sale of 100 profit-making PSUs, the CTUs said they would join the Bandh. The CTUs asserted that these measures will reduce the government’s ability to provide Social Security benefits to the general public. “It’s also not necessary to have a deep understanding of economics to realise that the government can raise revenue by taxing the wealthy in India.
