The Farmers’ Organisations, which are agitating for the repealing of the Farms Act and withdrawal of the Electricity Bill 2020, are organising a Bharat Bandh tomorrow. BSNLEU has already organised demonstrations in support of the farmers' struggle on 03.12.2020. Still, the All India Centre of BSNLEU calls upon our circle and district unions to support tomorrow’s Bharat Bandh and organise lunch hour demonstrations and gate meetings. CHQ is issuing a badge. Comrades are requested to wear this badge tomorrow. 

The Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central) has already started conciliation meetings with the unions and associations, to discuss the demands of the General Strike held on 26.11.2020. Separate notices have been issued by various unions and associations for this strike. Hence, the ALC(C) started holding separate conciliation meetings with each union / association. BSNLEU has demanded that all the unions and associations which served the strike notice should be collectively invited for the conciliation, since the charter of demands is one and the same. This demand has been accepted by the ALC(C) and accordingly a conciliation meeting has been called on 07.12.2020.  In the meanwhile, BSNLEU has written to the Chief Labour Commissioner of India, requesting that the conciliation meetings involving BSNL should be conducted at least at the level of the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central).

A Janata Curfew / Bharat Bandh has been called on 08^th December, 2020. The call has been given by the “Delhi Chalo Samyukta Kisan Morcha”. The Janata Curfew / Bharat Bandh is being organised demanding the repealing of  all the three anti-farmer and pro-corporate Farm Laws, as well as the withdrawal of the Electricity Bill 2020. 

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha has made an appeal to all sections of the people including workers, traders, petty producers, students, youth and women to extend solidarity and come shoulder to shoulder in support of the Janata Curfew / Bharat Bandh and make it a historic success. We have attached herewith a press statement of the All India Kisan Sabha dated 04.12.2020. 

A meeting of the AUAB is being held at 15:00 hrs today. It will be an online meeting, for which intimation has already been sent to all the General Secretaries on 29.11.2020 itself. Problems being created in BSNL’s 4G launching, efforts of the government to keep the Subsidiary Tower Company operational and outsourcing of works and the worsening of the landline and broadband services, will be discussed in this meeting.

It is a matter of great concern that Lakshmi Vilas Bank, a 94 year old Tamil Nadu based private sector bank, has collapsed. For 90 years, this bank had been making profits. However, in the last 4 years, it went into a big crisis. The reason is the big loans taken by corporates like Jet Airways, Reliance Housing Finance, Nirav Modi Group, Cox and Kings, Religare, etc. These loans were not repaid. The government also did not take steps to these sharks to repay the loans. As a result, the Lakshmi Vilas Bank collapsed. This is a clear case of corporates looting people’s money. When this being the case, the Modi government has taken a decision to allow the corporates themselves to start banks. This is nothing but handing over the keys to the thieves.  

The Maharashtra State Cabinet has taken the decision to change the caste-based names of localities in Maharashtra. Names of localities like Brahman-wada, Mahar-wada, Bouddh-wada, etc., will now be changed. This is really a progressive step, being taken by the Maharashtra government. BSNLEU welcomes the decision and appreciates the Maharashtra government. 

The fourth round of talks between the agitating farmers’ representatives and three Union Ministers were held in the Vigyan Bhawan at New Delhi, yesterday. The representatives of the farmers refused to take even tea during the meeting. Further, when lunch break came, the farmers’ representatives refused to accept the lunch offered by the Ministers. Rather, they told that they had brought their own lunch and ate their rotis in meeting venue itself.  Certainly, the farmers representatives have set an example for all of us. 

BSNLEU had given call to organise demonstrations in support of the lakhs of farmers, who are agitating on the borders of Delhi, demanding withdrawal of the recently passed Anti-Farmer Acts. Accepting the call of the CHQ of BSNLEU, lunch hour demonstrations have been effectively organised in many parts of the country. CHQ heartily thanks all the comrades. BSNLEU will continue to stand with the agitating farmers and will extend support to their justified struggles.
