Indiscriminate FDI in Defence Sector Will Weaken India’s Defence Capabilities

CPIML Writes to PM and Defence Minister

CPIML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya has sent letters to the Prime Minister and Defence Minister demanding to reconsider the recent decision of allowing foreign direct investment in defence sector up to 75%. The letter reads as “We are greatly shocked to note that the Finance Minister has made two outrageous announcements regarding India's defence industry in her detailed disclosures about the Central government's so-called Rs 20 lakh crore package.

Appeal by CPIML to Workers and Farmers

Instead of effectively managing the Corona crisis, the BJP government at the Center has pushed the burden of this crisis on to villages. The migrant workers, on whose blood, sweat and labor the big corporate companies and industrialists earn billions, have been left to die of starvation in cities and metropolises after the Lockdown. The 20 lakh crore package announced by the Modi government will not be able to give any relief to these workers in their hour of crisis because the package contains only betrayal in the name of relief.
