Hindi translation of "The budget is "For The Rich, Of The Rich, By The Rich".

यह बजट "अमीरों के लिए, अमीरों का, अमीरों के द्वारा " है ।

 

बजट पर हो रही बहस में शामिल होते हुए श्री पी चिदंबरम ने कहा, यह बजट "अमीरों के लिए, अमीरों का, अमीरों के द्वारा " है । इसमें भारत की गरीब जनता के लिए कुछ भी नही है, जो लगातार परेशानी झेल रही है। यह बजट उन एक प्रतिशत लोगों के लिए है, जो भारत की 73% संपदा (wealth) को नियंत्रित करते हैं।

  

उन्होंने आगे कहा, " दुनिया के प्रत्येक अर्थशास्त्री ने कहा है कि हमें मांग में वृद्धि हेतु प्रोत्साहित करना होगा और मांग वृद्धि के प्रोत्साहन का सही तरीका है कि लोगों के हाथों में पैसा दिया जाए। उस दिशा में, यह सरकार विफल रही है। मैं यह आरोप दोहराता हूँ। आप विगत 36 महीनों के सबक से अभी भी सिख नही पा रहे हैं। मुझे भय है कि आपके सबक नही सिख पाने के फलस्वरूप आगामी 12 माह और बर्बाद हो जाएंगे और गरीब परेशान और अधिक परेशान होगा।" यह कहा, भूतपूर्व वित्त मंत्री ने संसद के उच्च सदन में।

The budget is "For The Rich, Of The Rich, By The Rich".

Participating in a debate on the budget, Mr P. Chidambaram said, " This is a budget for the rich, of the rich and by the rich.... There is nothing for the poor people of India, who continue to suffer.... This is a budget for those one per cent people who control 73% of India's wealth." 

 

He further said, "Every economist in the world has said we have to stimulate demand and the best way to stimulate demand is to put money in the hands of people. This government has failed on that account. I repeat the charge. You are still not learning the lessons of the last 36 months. I am afraid that as a result of your not learning the lessons, another 12 months will be lost and the poor will suffer and suffer greatly," the former Finance Minister said in the Upper House of Parliament.

BSNLEU condemns ED raids on Newsclick.

Disturbing news has appeared in the media that, the office of Newsclick, as well as the residences of it's Editor-in-chief and the Editor, are being raided by the Enforcement Directorate(ED). This is nothing but an attack on the freedom of press. As known to everyone, Newsclick is making extensive coverages on the issues of workers and other marginalised sections of the society. It is consistently exposing the anti-BSNL policies of the Modi government and extending it's support to the struggles being launched by the unions and associations, for safeguarding and strengthening BSNL. The ongoing agitations of the peasants are also being highlighted by the Newsclick in a big way. Undoubtedly, the government wants to stifle the voice of the Newclick. The government has already filed FIRs against many journalists, for supporting the farmers’ struggle and criticising the policies of the government.  All these steps of the government remind us of the dark days of Emergency.  The ruling BJP is re-enacting  the autocratic measures taken during Emergency. All these are attacks on our democracy and BSNLEU strongly condemns these autocratic steps.
