Hyderabad, February 16 CPI (M) General Secretary M A Baby said on Monday that his party would organize a 'Delhi March' protest on March 24 in the national capital against the labour codes, the replacement of MGNREGA, trade agreements, and what it termed as "anti-people policies" of the NDA government at the Centre.
The CPI(M) would also conduct a campaign across northern states ahead of the march, he said.
"We are planning a Delhi march in March. In northern Indian states, we are going to hold state-level programmes and 'Jathas' (processions), mobilizing various sections of people... raising livelihood issues, we are going to march to Delhi," he told reporters here.
Targeting the union government over trade agreements and other related issues, Baby asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi could "stand up and say that India will decide from where it should buy crude oil."
He alleged that India's sovereignty was systematically being subjected to assault.
Referring to global oil purchases, Baby claimed US President Donald Trump has restricted India from buying oil from some countries and now suggests buying oil from Venezuela.
