CPB (Marxist) to besiege jute ministry tomorrow
Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist) yesterday announced to besiege the Ministry of Textiles and Jute tomorrow to realize a three-point demand including jute minister's resignation for his "failure" to protect the industry.
The two other demands are reopening of all closed jute mills, and reinstatement of jute mill workers and payment all of their arrears.
CPB (Marxist) General Secretary MA Samad announced the programme through a release.
Instead of modernising the jute mills and stopping looting and irregularities in the jute sector, the government has decided to close down state-run jute factories which is not acceptable, Samad said in the release.
He also said thousands of workers in this sector have become unemployed as a result of closure of jute mills. Besides, millions of workers in other sectors are unemployed today due to the impact of coronavirus. Unemployed workers are also returning from abroad. "But the government has no headache in this regard."
He said there is no alternative to wage movement against the government to protest such injustice.
