Withdraw
Fare Hikes
The
Polit Bureau of the
Communist Party of
THE
Polit Bureau of the
CPI(M) strongly opposes the all-round hike in rail fares
announced by the
railway minister. The hike in the fares of second class,
sleeper and suburban
fares is particularly unjustified as they will burden the
ordinary people who
are already suffering from all-round price rise.
The
railway minister has
shown contempt for parliament by announcing these fare hikes
just a month
before the railway budget is to be placed in parliament.
The
Polit Bureau demands
the withdrawal of the fare hikes in all categories except
the top two classes –
AC I and AC II.
The
Polit Bureau calls
upon all its Party units to organise protests against the
new burden being
imposed on the people.
