Price rise: Opposition's Bharat bandh tomorrow, transport to be hit
NDTV Correspondent, Updated: July 04, 2010 22:26 IST


New Delhi: It could well be a manic Monday tomorrow. The BJP and its allies across the country have called a Bharat bandh to protest against escalating prices.

Inflation is in double digits and fuel prices have risen since the government deregulated oil prices, and now the Opposition is taking what it says is the aam aadmi's protest on the streets.

If that's not all, the Left is also protesting against the fuel hike on Monday, demanding a roll back.

And it could severely affect you, especially if you're in states where the BJP and the Left have a significant presence.


Authorities have prepared to take all security measures to ensure there is no untoward incident during the strike. However, essential services like milk, water and hospitals are exempt from participation in the bandh.

There will be a complete shutdown in Gujarat for starters where buses, cars and autos will be hit; most schools and colleges will be shut. Truckers will also stay off the roads.

In New Delhi, people could face some hardships in reaching their destinations as the workers of Opposition parties, including the Left and BJP, plan to block traffic in several parts of the city.

The four Left parties - CPM, CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc - will organise a protest demonstration at the busy ITO Chowk, which connects east Delhi with the heart of the Capital.

The Left parties will be organising protests at nine places in New Delhi while there will be three demonstrations in Ghaziabad and one in Noida. Out of the total 13 demonstrations by the Left, three will be organised by CPM alone.

BJP will also organise protests across the city. Party president Nitin Gadkari and former BJP president Rajnath Singh will take part in the main protest at Chandni Chowk.

Delhi BJP chief Vijender Gupta, meanwhile, appealed to managements to keep their schools closed on Monday and requested parents not to send their children to schools.

In Mumbai, the authorities have put in elaborate security measures. The police have even made some preventive arrests and there is extra security for trains.

"Anyone who takes law into their hands and attempts to paralyse the city shall be dealt with strictly," warned Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjeev Dayal.

Also, adequate number of Railway policemen would be deployed at stations for smooth functioning of service, police said.

In West Bengal, there is bad news for fliers as private airlines, not wanting to take chances, won't be operating during the day.

In Rajasthan, markets will remain close on Monday to avoid any untoward incident. Also, the theatres will not screen films after 6 pm.

Andhra Pradesh state transport buses will not run on Monday to avoid vandalism.

Across the country, Opposition parties have called for a bandh on Monday against rising prices and the NDA is keen to get as many parties on board as possible. However, they have failed to put up a united front as both RJD chief Lalu Yadav and LJP chief Ramvilas Paswan have decided not to support the strike.

The participating parties are BJP, Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party, JD(U), CPM, CPI, Forward Block, RSP, AIADMK, PMK, MDMK, TDP, BJD, JD(S), AGP, Akali Dal and INLD.

In an attempt to make Monday's strike a success, the BJP has decided to send its senior leaders out to various state capitals to lead demonstrations and protest marches.

The irony is, the strike is to protest the high prices the common man has to pay, but a countrywide strike will hurt many businesses run by the common man.

There is a supreme court rulling against bandh.
yet i don't think so it would have any effects


Judiciary stands firm, says all bandhs, strikes illegal
CNN-IBNPosted on Oct 01, 2007 at 23:26



New Delhi: The judiciary has always taken a tough stand against enforced bandhs. Here's a look at court judgements on bandhs over the last 10 years.
The first major judicial verdict against bandhs came ten years ago in 1997, when the Kerala High Court ruled in a landmark judgment that forced bandhs were illegal.
The decision was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1998.




In 2002 the Supreme Court went a step further and declared all forced hartals illegal too.
In July 2004, the Bombay High Court told the Shiv Sena and the BJP to pay a fine of Rs 20 lakh ach, for organising a Mumbai bandh in July 2003 to protest against the Ghatkopar blasts. It was estimated that the bandh had cost the city Rs 50 crore.
In November the same year, the Calcutta High Court declared illegal and unconstitutional, the Bangla Bandh called by the Trinamool Congress. The court directed the party to withdraw the call and publish the decision in the media.
Last year, the Kerala High Court asked the Election Commission to deregister political parties calling bandhs.
In June this year, the Supreme Court took notice of the bandh called in Delhi on the Gujjar issue and described the government's inaction as a 'national shame'. The bandh cost the national capital region around Rs 700 crore.
Despite these judicial strictures, political parties have been organising bandhs from time to time.
Just last October, Karnataka lost around Rs 2,000 crore in a bandh called by pro-Kannada organisations on the Belgaum issue.

Holy Sh%# , i forgot to buy the cigarette packs.. has to wait till evening for the shops to open.

These guys are doing Harthals and Bandhs as if the next day the prices are gonna go down.

 

[Marxist]

Harthal and bandh are democratic way of protesting against the rise of fuel price .....

 

[LadyGaga]

Price rise cannot be curbed by organising bandh's and dharnas.But our political parties think the economics of protest can make bigger vote banks in the next election.Pranab Mukherjee has promised that prices will start coming down soon.Promises are made to be broken after all.Even if the fuel hike is rolled back,they will never roll back the steadily increasing auto,taxi,bus tariffs.So the common man will continue to be fleeced .In the long run this is going to create lower savings and will cause economic slow down.

It doesnt have any importance in this era , where each every minute the common man is struggling to meet his needs.
Harthal and Bandhs are interests of few people and its a crime to deprive the freedom of a common man from doing his job.

 

[SpArK]

If the bandh is against rising fuel hikes. protest in front of OPEC buildings., but not by forcefully shutting shops and threatening people from going for jobs.

Hartal and bandh should be a democratic way of protesting but political parties enforces them by forcefully closing the shop and other business avenue.

Ask the common man , not the party workers or enthusiasts, you will be amazed at what you hear.

Its not government rising prices, the fuel prices are always dependent on the global crude oil prices.
People are more at trouble because a day of earning is taken away from them of the working days.

And the communists are the greatest culprits of these harthals, in our state ( yours and mine).

I'M a common man support this harthal for its genuine reasons

Its not government rising prices, the fuel prices are always dependent on the global crude oil prices.
People are more at trouble because a day of earning is taken away from them of the working days.

Basic cost of petrol per liter 16.50 +center tax 11.80 +excise duty 9.75 +state tax 8.00 +vat 4.00.total cost 50.05.now extra 3.00 rupees

And the communists are the greatest culprits of these harthals, in our state ( yours and mine).

all political parties do harthal in our state.

Although in the short term this is indeed a pinch in the pocket for all of us but decontrolling the prices is the right desicion for the long term future of the nation.A controlled pricing system wont work.This additional cost should be added to the economy.

Not short term its a long term burden.De controlling the price was a wrong move to help petroleum giants.
