An article on ‘The saga of jailed Maruti Suzuki Workers’ published in Hindu Daily in two installments on 19th and 20th December 2015 written by Shri G.Sampath shows how the corporate Suzuki and the Haryana Government have been victimising and brutally harassing the Maruti workers. 147 workers of Maruti-Suzuki have been jailed for the last three and half years for an incident happened in the factory on 18th July 2012 in which a manager died and a few other executives were injured. They are all charged with murder and about 20 sections of IPC. Some of them are given bail a few months back, but others are still in jail. These 147 workers are in jail for one man’s alleged murder. Those who have been granted bail could not get a job anywhere because of the court case.
The Haryana Government has engaged Supreme Court Senior Advocate K.T.S.Tulsi as Public Prosecutor spending more than Rs.5.5 crore on advocate fee alone. All this to prosecute the poor workers.
The article is worth reading. It is a case where the mighty Suzuki Management and the Haryana Government is making a war on the workers.

The Central Trade Unions should take up the issue at the National level and expose the savagery that is being done against the workers. This savage, brutal victimisation should be stopped.
