The workers, farmers and the agricultural workers are joining together in New Delhi to protest against the anti-worker, anti-farmer and anti people neoliberal policies of Narendra  Modi government. Lakhs will march through the streets in New Delhi demanding effective control of prices of essential commodities and universalise the public distribution system, concrete measures for generation of decent employment, minimum wage of Rs.18,000 for all workers, stop anti-worker labour law amendments, remunerative price for all agricultural products, loan waiver for peasants and agricultural workers, no contractorisation, redistributive land reforms, stop forcible land acquisition, reversal of neoliberal policies etc. The Rally will also hit out at the communal agenda and authoritarian drive of Modi government and condemn the serial mob lynching.
