According to the information, Bharat Bandh has been called by the joint platform of 10 central trade unions, which include AITUC, INTUC, CITU, HMS, TUCC, SEWA, AIUTUC, AICCTU, LPF, and UTUC. Apart from this, Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), Agricultural Labor Organization, students and youth organizations are also supporting this bandh.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha said the platform of agricultural labor unions and the NREGA Sangharsh Morcha (NSM) will also support and participate in the protests across the country. He appeals to the people to protest against all the new attacks being carried out by the BJP government on farmers, laborers and the general public.

Samyukta Kisan Morcha has termed the trade deal between India and America as a blueprint of ‘economic colonialism’. The farmers’ organization alleges that under the pressure of this deal, the Modi government has decided to withdraw the bonus given on paddy and weaken the Public Distribution System (PDS).

The union leader says that the aim of Bharat Bandh is to put pressure on the government for stronger social security measures and protection of workers’ rights. She is protesting four new labor codes, alleging that the new labor codes weaken workers’ rights, reduce job security, and make it easier for owners to hire and fire workers.
