BMS not to back trade unions strike call on September 7

Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) today said it boycotted the Central Trade Unions’ Convention and delinked itself from their call for a country-wide strike on September 7 as there was no mutual understanding over fixing of the date of the agitation.

The BMS, the trade union front of BJP, however, made it clear that it too disfavours the government’s economic policy and has decided to organise “huge” agitational programmes across the country from August 25 which will include demonstrations and rallies in the industrial areas to protest price rise and other issues affecting the working classes
