OVER 100,000 farm workers marched on the Indian parliament in Delhi today demanding higher pay, an end to privatisation and price controls.
The rally, organised by the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), saw demonstrators from across India march from the main train station to Parliament Street “in a very disciplined and orderly manner taking care not to cause inconvenience to the people,” organisers said.
“This rally is expected to pave the way for a strong alliance of the workers and peasants and to intensify the struggle to decisively defeat the neoliberal policies” of the Narendra Modi government, the party declared.
