The Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) would burn the effigy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Kalaburagi on Tuesday protesting against the “anti-labour” policies of the Union government.
CITU district secretary M.B. Sajjan, in a release here on Sunday, said that BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was following anti-labour policies from the day they came to power by weakening labour laws and depriving basic facilities to the labour section.
GDP
Mr. Sajjan said the labour sector share in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) came down from 25 per cent to 10 per cent during the one-year tenure of the BJP government in the Centre.
Privatisation
Instead of protecting labour rights, the Union government was engaged in privatisation of welfare schemes, he said.
