The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
Congratulations to Working Class on Successful General Strike
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the working class for the successful general strike held today, 9 July 2025.
Reports show that the police resorted to lathi charge in various places and attempts were made to intimidate workers from participating in the general strike. Braving all such attacks, the strike was held successfully. Kisan, agricultural workers and various sections of the people too joined the workers in solidarity and held protest demonstrations.
The CPI(M) congratulates all the people who stood with the working class and made this general strike a huge success. The BJP led central government should listen to the voices against the labour codes and its anti worker policies. It should immediately rescind the amendments to the labour laws and protect the rights of the working class.
