Bengaluru: Several organisations across the country have called for a nation-wide strike on Wednesday, January 8, condemning the Central Government’s ‘anti-labour’ policies.

According to the reports, around 10 organizations have already expressed their support for the protest, placing 14 demands and saying that they will take a final call on the protest once they meet the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India.

Interestingly, several organizations from Karnataka have backed out of the protest as the reports claim that they have no clue about the reason behind the protest. The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike has also not gone in support of the protest. Similarly, petrol station and hotel owners have decided not to support the protest.

Clarifying about the same, the Hotel Owners Association told the media that it will support the protest indirectly, and the Bengaluru Petroleum Dealers Association president Balaji has said that the association will not lend any support.

However, the State Travels Association has decided to support the ‘Bharath Bundh’.

Meanwhile, the decision whether the schools and colleges should be given a holiday on the bundh day, will be decided on Tuesday.
