The decisions of the cabinet yesterday on PSU’s stake sale, increase in FDI of multi-sector retail and Aviation sector, increase in the price of diesel and limiting supply of LPG cylinders are all nothing but a declared war on the people of India. The PSU stake sale is a gift of the nation’s wealth to the MNCs and India Inc.  Increase in FDI means surrendering the financial independence of the country to the MNCs on whose behalf the US and other imperialist countries have been pressurizing India continuously. Increasing the price of diesel and limiting supply of LPG cylinders to 6 in a year to a family will increase the misery of the people.

This challenge thrown by the government has to be taken squarely taken by the opposition parties, even allies in the UPA, the trade unions in the country, social organisations and all those who support the common people. The protest demonstrations and the bandh in some states to-day in the right direction. This has to be increased and a country-wide stormy action to be planned and implemented giving a direct hit to the UPA government and its future.
