Today, the joint platform of the trade unions is observing Save India Day in commemoration of 9th August 1941, when the people of this country responded to the Quit India call of the National Independent Movement and mobilized. Today, the similar situation has come where the people of this country, particularly the working class, feels the necessity to come out onto the streets to save the country. The government, the BJP government has utilized the corona related pandemic to pass the anti-farmer formulas, the anti-worker labour courts, and it is going ahead with its oppressive measures against the people who are protesting, who are raising their voices against the policies and measures of the government. So GDP has already turned negative. More than 50% of the population has already gone below the poverty level. Last two months, April and May, more than 2 crore people lost their jobs and during the same period, more than 23 crore workers have seen that their income has gone down by half below poverty level. So in that kind of a situation, can ever the recession that is continuing, can it pick up? And if it does not pick up how the unemployment which has gone up 50 years higher, how that can be addressed? And if this cannot be addressed, the country's law, order, social, harmony, can it be maintained? So they are, and on the other hand, whatever strength we could gather during last 70 years through public sector network in all the basic, strategic and core sector of the economy, which takes care of our national sovereignty also in different sectors, they are being pushed towards total sale. The trade unions on the one hand and the Sanyukta Kisan Morcha on the other hand. So two important sections of our people who produce the wealth of this country, they are opposing the policies of this country to sell the country to the big corporates. The government talks about patriotism, nationalism, etc. But it is handing over our resources, our natural resources, our land, our seas, our minds, and the production, the productive capacity, our labor, our human resources to the big corporates including the multinational corporation. The trade union movement is also raising the demands of the peasants to repeal the form laws and also ensure legally guaranteed MSP. And also importantly, the trade union movement is demanding that the government should take up universal free vaccination. So our demand is to strengthen the public health infrastructure to provide free education, to provide this cash transfer and free food grain so that at least people have some money in their pockets and that will help in reviving the economy. The trade unions are observing the Save India Day. All over the country it is being observed and thousands and thousands, despite the limitations and restrictions of COVID lockdowns and curfews, etc., they are coming into the streets. They are following COVID protocols in small groups, even in the villages. They are participating in this protest program. So after this, we will again sit and plan the future program. It's a very significant day today. It's the last day of the 13th day and the farmers have moved the motion that the farmers, the common people of this country have lost any faith and trust in the government and they are now going to pass a motion. Motion has already been moved that Mr Modi should leave the Prime Minister's ship. He should go on moral ethical grounds because we have no confidence and we have no trust in his leadership. What farmers or the democracy, Indian democracy has gained during these 13 days? I think it's been a very significant, though symbolic parliament, one that because of farmers' strength and farmers' continuous non-violent struggle, the government had to agree to their demand of coming to the parliament. So today, not only farmers reclaimed their space in the heart of Delhi, they also opened this space for others to come and stake a claim. So not only the Kisan census, but there are now other demonstrations which have started to happen in Jantar Mantar, which were not being allowed earlier. So, Kisans have allowed a helpless country to reclaim space, which was taken away by the government and it's very authoritarian policy.
