The BJP government amidst strong protest in the Parliament had
passed Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) to keep away a section of people
living in India by striping their right as citizen. They have imposed religious
criteria in considering certain sections of people violating provisions of our
Constitution. Such discrimination was created to cover up their lapses found in
imposition of National Register of Citizenship in Assam and to advance their
communal agenda throughout the country. Nineteen Lakh of people in Assam has
been removed from the register declaring them as outsiders in India and
confined thousands in detention camps where living conditions are inhuman and
people are facing death due to lack of health care. The CAA also overturned the
carefully balanced agreement arrived in 1985 through Assam Accord. Similar
imposition is now being planned in other states where detention camps are being
ordered to construct where the workers and particularly migrant workers will be
the worse sufferer.
This ill afford of BJP Govt. has caused wide spread protest in
all over the country when three persons were killed in police firing in Assam,
students and other people were brutally attacked by police and goons in JNU,
AMU, Jamia Milia University, etc. injuring many, also en mass arresting
peaceful protesters. Even sanctity of these institutions was breached by police
who never bothered to ask permission from the Vice Chancellors.
The central Trade Unions anxiously observe that the BJP Govt. is
creating discrimination which may division the country and may cause widespread
discontent among people irrespective of religion, caste and creeds. This is
also being used to deviate attention from the present crisis and to create
divide among the unified protest of the working people against the anti people
policies of the BJP Govt.
The Central Trade Unions demand of the Govt. to repeal CAA, not
to proceed with NRC and stop police atrocity on the protesters. We call upon
all affiliated unions to organise wide campaign among the workers participate
to the protest actions.
