Perambalur: Members of the Communist Party of India held protests across the state, demanding, among other things, that the agricultural law brought in by the Central government be withdrawn and that rising prices be brought under control.
In Perambalur, a protest and condemnation speech were held at the new bus stand under the leadership of Communist Party of India National Control Committee member Mutharasan.
Speaking at the protest, Mutharasan said that the central government should withdraw the four bills it introduced against farmers. It should fix fair prices for agricultural produce. The Prime Minister should reduce his foreign trips and focus on the problems of the people.
The Prime Minister refuses to answer MPs’ questions in Parliament. Among all the Prime Ministers so far, there has been no one like him who has ignored Parliament.
The Congress government is trying to build the Mekedatu dam in the state of Karnataka. The central government should not grant permission to build the Mekedatu dam. Just as the Union Education Minister resigned over the attack on students who fought against the NEET exam irregularities, the Union Home Minister should also resign. Until then, our struggle will continue in Tamil Nadu.
The resolution passed in the Legislative Assembly in Tamil Nadu against NEET is welcome. Likewise, the decision that the Tamil Thai song will be given first place at government functions, schools, and colleges is a good one. Similarly, the government should take steps to bring Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
The central government should respect the arbitration award and the Supreme Court verdict and secure the water due to Tamil Nadu. In the Mekedatu dam issue, the political parties in Karnataka are united. But in Tamil Nadu, all parties are acting in conflict with one another.
The Tamil Nadu government should hold an all-party meeting and wage the appropriate legal battle on the Cauvery water issue. Chief Minister Vijay had stated in the election manifesto that agricultural loans would be fully waived. However, the announcement that there will be no full loan waiver is concerning. Since farmers’ livelihoods have been affected, all crop loans should be waived in full.
Under the 125-day employment scheme, the Central Government should allocate 60 percent, and the Tamil Nadu Government should allocate 40 percent of the funds. The Tamil Nadu Government should immediately allocate the funds without citing financial burden as a reason. He said this.
