147 workers of Maruti -Suzuki company are still jail in connection with the incident in the factory premises on 18th July 2012, in which one officer was killed and many workers were injured.
As per reports in the press, the evidences brought in the court against these workers clearly indicates that they are cooked up and fabricated. The contractors are the witnesses and they have given names of workers alphabetically. A report in ‘Hindu’ clearly indicates that the workers have been charged in the case picking up leaders of the union. The jailed workers are not even granted bail.
This is a conspiracy between the Maruti Management and Haryana state government. Despite strong protests and agitations by CITU and other trade unions in the area, the Haryana State government has not taken any action to diffuse the situation.
Our full support and solidarity to the Maruti Workers, who are fighting for justice.
