The Parliament has been stalled for today also due to the strong opposition from the opposition parties including the Left against the cabinet decision on 51% FDI in multi-brand and 100 % in single brand retail trade.

The cabinet decision is completely against the interest of the country and especially the retail traders and the farmers. The government is surrendering to the dictates of the US capitalists and the MNCs against the interests of the Indian people.

The present move of the government has to be defeated if the country has to advance. That is why BSNLEU has called for protest demonstrations on 1 December 2011  in support of the Bharat Bandh by traders .
