Unparalleled repression
has been launched to break the morale of the Maruti workers. Even those workers
who were not present in the premises of Maruti workers on the day of the
episode were arrested and put behind bars. Maruti workers and their relatives have
been staging dharna at Kaithal for the last several weeks. They decided to take
out a procession in support of their demands
on May 19. The town was converted into an armed camp with police posted every
where- railway station, bus stand, traffic islands etc. and any one suspected
of being sympathetic to workers was arrested. There was brutal lathi charge on
the demonstrators injuring many. Many were arrested.
Haryana govt. has a battery of prosecutors but it has paid about crore and a half rupees to an expensive lawyer so far to prosecute workers. The govt. is acting as an agent of the industrialists. To launch brutal repression against workers who are backbone of our economy is the most undemocratic and fascistic step. This is Haryana democracy in its most perverse form.
