Today's protest is in solidarity with the railway employees who are protesting all over the country in thousands against the proposed privatization of Indian railway by the present government. The present government has declared a hundreds-day agenda whereby they are pushing for massive privatization of the railways and in the last budget also the finance minister of India, Nirmala Sitaraman, she also proposed a public-private partnership model for the railways. From the AICCTO, we believe that if the Indian railways are privatized, which is one of the largest serving railway network in the world, which serves the poor people of the country and which is also a major source of employment in India, if the railways is privatized, then it will not only mean a deteriorating infrastructure, a deteriorating public transfer infrastructure for the poor people of this country, but also increasing contractualization in security of job, hire and fire for the railway employees. So, we are against the proposal of privatization of Indian railways. Today we are protesting against hundreds-day action plan that has been brought by the body government. It says that all the operations of railways will be slowly privatized. They are starting with privatization of the most profit-making routes and trains. The government has also come up with this strange idea of privatization of railcoach factories. There are seven railcoach factories under the railways from Patiala, Kapoorthala, Rai Bareilly, DLW, Varanasi, Chitrangian. You see, when the government is talking about its pilot project, it is talking about Vande Bharat Express. We all know that these trains are being manufactured by the railways, by the coach factories. Vande Bharat Express is being manufactured by ICF Chennai. And these all units are highly profit-making units. But still the government is trying to corporatize it and slowly go towards privatization of these units, to sell these units. And we must understand that when it comes to these government undertakings, these are not meant for profit or loss. These are meant for serving people, be it Indian railways, be it steel authority of India Limited, be it BHAL or any other government undertaking. These all units have been serving the country. These all units have been serving the people. And we must keep in mind that when the government says that it is going to privatize it, when Modi is saying that it is going to privatize it, it is not for the people. It is not for the common people. It is for the profit of Adani and Ambani. It is for the profit of the private entrepreneurs who have given huge donations to his party, who are supporting his party right now. So this is entirely an anti-people move by the government to privatize the railways. And different railway unions have been coming together to protest against it in one voice. There have been protests over all the railcoach factories even today. There are people from NRU, Northern Railway Employees Union. There are people from ELARSA. There are people from IREF, Indian Railway Federation who have come to support our protest. But most importantly, today's protest, the most important point that we are trying to make is privatization of railways is not only an issue of railway employees, it in fact is an issue of 120 crore Indians who use Indian railways to commute Delhi. If the railways are going to privatize, it will not be only 15 lakh employees who will be affected. It will be the entire population of the country, the most marginalized people of the country, the working class population of the country who are going to be affected by such drastic by the government.
