Unitedly
Protest Petrol Price Hike
The
Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of
BY
announcing yet another price hike of petrol by Rs 1.80 per
litre, the UPA
government has once again displayed its shocking callousness at
the plight of
the people. On the same day the price hike was announced, the
food inflation
rate touched 12.21 per cent.
The
government’s deregulation of petrol pricing is responsible for
the fuelling of
the price hike of essential commodities and inflation. The hoax
of the pricing
according to the market has been exposed as the international
oil prices have
fallen considerably in the recent period.
The
Polit Bureau calls upon all its party units to protest against
this intolerable
burden being imposed on the people. United protests should be
launched
including mass picketing.
