Pacts with US leave many Indians jobless: CPM

Eluru: The CPM city committee staged a dharna here on Monday, protesting against the visit of US president Donald Trump to India and agreements to be signed between India and USA.

Addressing the protesters, CPM city secretary, P Kishore said that the BJP government at Centre which boasts itself of being a nationalistic party, has been entering into pacts with the US on import of unused chicken leg pieces, milk in America besides weaponry.

It is unethical on the part of BJP to allow flood of imports from US which leaves many jobless.

On account of these agreements, about 15 crore farmer in dairy industry and five crore employees and small businessmen engaged in poultry industry would lose their livelihood. The nuclear weapons imported would also pose threat to the safety to people in our country.

The CPM leader questioned the RSS backed BJP government should clarify what kind of patriotism it is when the very interests of our own people are at stake because of the agreements with the US.

It was shame on the part of the BJP government to construct a wall to hide huts from the sight of the visiting president, he heckled.
