The following statement was issued by the Platform of Central Trade Union Organisations on 1st December 2020
The Platform of Central Trade Union Organisations and independent Federations/Associations hail the decision of All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (United Platform Indian Farmers’ Organisations) and the joint committee of Punjab Kisans to stand firm on their demands and continue their united struggle.
The Farmers who are in stay-in protests in couple of lakhs alongwith their tractors and trolleys in the four borders of Delhi, have rejected outright the Government's offer to go to Burari ground as a precondition for talks. They are firm in their demands for scrapping of the three farm-laws and also the Electricity Bill 2020, which are also the demands of the United Platform of Central Trade Union Organisations and independent Federations/Associations, pressed for through 26th November 2020 countrywide General Strike. There is no "misunderstanding" about anti-people and anti-farmer destructive character of the agri-laws passed recently and the Electricity Bill 2020 among the farmers of the country, as sought to be painted in a distorted manner by the PM in his Man Ki Baat and his ministers' statements. The Farmers are determined to carry on their united struggles.
The CTUs condemn the false propaganda of the Government on oxygen supply to Delhi getting affected due to picketing of the Farmers at the borders. Rather they have magnanimously let through all health-care traffic.
The AIKSCC has called upon solidarity support to their struggle through supportive agitations throughout the country from the toiling people and their organisations.
The Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions and independent Federations/Associations call on their affiliates throughout the Country to demonstrate in solidarity with the Farmers' demands till they are honourably met.
INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF, UTUC
And independent Federations/Associations
