Agartala: The CPI-M-led ruling Left Front in Tripura has called for a 12-hour shutdown in the state Sep 20 to protest diesel price hike, foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail and disinvestment in profit-making public sector undertakings (PSUs).

Accompanied by Left Front leaders, CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) state secretary Bijan Dhar said here Sunday that the Congress-led UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government has “made the greatest assault on the common people by allowing 51 percent FDI in multi-brand retail, increase in price of diesel and limiting subsidised cooking gas cylinders”.

“Dawn-to-dusk strike would be observed Sep 20 to protest the hike in diesel price and allowing FDI in multi-brand retail. We would force the UPA government to rollback all the anti-people decisions,” Dhar told reporters.

He said the proposed strike is part of the nation-wide agitation Sep 20.

Meanwhile, protest rallies and demonstrations are being continued across Tripura by the Left parties to force the central government to withdraw its recent decisions on petroleum products, disinvestment in PSUs and FDI in multi-brand retail. (IANS)
