New Delhi> The Central Committee of the CPI M which concluded a three-day meeting of its central committee in New Delhi,strongly condemned the decision of introducing fix contract jobs all across the private sector.
This will rule out the future possibilities of any permanent employment and work security for the working people. It will lead to the outright contractualistaion of labour-says the communique approved by the meeting. Surreptitiously the hard-won rights of the working class, the existing labour laws are being changed to further the interests of foreign and Indian corporates. The Central Committee supports the protest actions planned by the trade unions on this issue.
The Central Committee also demanded the revising of the terms of reference of the 15th Finance Commission that adversely affects the interests of the southern states. The Finance Ministers of all southern states have already raised this issue which must be seriously considered.
The committee opined that the recent judgement delivered by a Supreme Court bench diluting the provisions of the Prevention of Atrocities (SC/ST) Act ignores the social reality of caste oppression, harassment and caste atrocities perpetrated on Dalits on a daily basis. This judgment makes the arrest and prosecution of those accused under the Act almost impossible by removing restrictions on getting anticipatory bail and that prosecution of a public servant can only proceed further after obtaining sanction from higher authorities. This judgment must be challenged by the Central Government moving a review petition before a larger bench of the Supreme Court- says the communique.
