Left leaders to meet Manmohan today
Vinay Kumar
NEW DELHI: The Left leaders will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday to ask the UPA government to take urgent measures to control inflation, check the rising prices of essential commodities and foodgrains and restore Central foodgrains quota to States such as West Bengal and Kerala.
Led by CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat, the leaders of the Left parties — the CPI, the RSP and the Forward Block — will reiterate their demand to ban futures trading of 25 essential items and foodgrains, strengthen and universalise the public distribution system and revamp the tax structure of petroleum products.
“We want the government to take immediate steps to check price rise,” Mr. Karat said.
Nationwide protest
The Left parties have been putting pressure on the UPA government to control the runaway inflation and price rise. They have already launched a nationwide protest against the price rise, an issue which has already been discussed in Parliament.
