Bank Strike/ Bharat Bandh On September 7 th 2010

Bank strike/ Bharat Bandh On September 7 th 2010 and for what Bharat Bandh is calling off, whether this BharatBandh on 7th sep 2010 will took place by central government or political parties or by Maoists who called for the strike recently is the question to all. As of now, the reason for barat band is not known but according to some sources it is going to be observed all over India tomorrow.

Among the significant events happening during this week are a nation wide strike by public Sector Bank  employees, a rally by Rahul Gandhi and the festival of Eid. Apart from these there are others too scheduled to take place during the same week.

On Tuesday, 7th September, the employees of public sector banks shall hold a strike against the govt measures to welcome more private companies into the banking sector.

Bandh is nothing but protesting against something. It is a weapon that people use to fulfill their demands. Bharat Bandhs are mainly held against the government. The last bandh was observed on Monday July 5, 2010 which was called to protest against the price hike in petroleum prices.

This bandh was held by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and later to join the league were Communist Party of India, CPI (Marxist), Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP) and Forward Bloc. The AIADMK, Telegu Desam Party (TDP), Samajwadi Party, Biju Janata Dal (BJD), Janata Dal (Socialist) and INLD have also supported the strike call.

The Times of India has reported that The Trade Union wings of Major Political parties have called for a all India Bandh to protest spiralling prices on Sept 7th 2010.

“Buoyed up by the ‘success’ of the 12-hour strike earlier this month, the trade union wings of all major parties, including the Congress, have planned yet another Bharat bandh on September 7 to protest spiralling prices.”

“A new feature of the September strike, according to TU sources, would be the participation of the Congress-affiliated INTUC. INTUC chief and a Congress MP D Sanjeeva Reddy has been appointed convener for the TU council spearheading the strike effort.”

“AITUC leader and CPI MP Gurudas Dasgupta said, “I hope Reddy will fight our battle within Congress as well.””

The other issues the strike will focus on are the government’s `flawed’ economic policy, disinvestment in the PSUs and the `unkept promise’ of a welfare scheme for the unorganised sector.

“At a meeting of the major TUs here on Thursday, it was decided that a 24-hour bandh would be organised all over the country crippling crucial sectors like telecom, banking, transport and mining.”
