ಕೇಂದ್ರ, ರಾಜ್ಯ ಸರಕಾರಗಳು ತರುತ್ತಿರುವ ನೀತಿಗಳು ಜನಸಾಮನ್ಯರ ಕತ್ತು ಹಿಸುಕುತ್ತಿವೆ. ಈ ನೀತಿಗಳು ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ವಿರೋಧಿ ಹಾಗೂ ರೈತ ವಿರೋಧಿ ವಿಷಯ ಗಳು ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ, ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮಾಜದ ಭವಿಷ್ಯದ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳು ಹಾಗಾಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಶ್ರಮಿಕ ವರ್ಗ ಹಾಗು ರೈತರು ಈ ಹೋರಾಟವನ್ನು ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಕ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಬೇಕಿದೆ

ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರ ಹಕ್ಕು, ರೈತರ ಬದುಕು, ಉದ್ಯೋಗದ ಭದ್ರತೆ, ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಸೇವೆಗಳ ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಇವೆಲ್ಲವೂ ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ಹಿತದ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳು. ಅವುಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೆಂಬಲ ನೀಡುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ಸಕ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸುವುದು ಎಲ್ಲರ ಹೊಣೆಗಾರಿಕೆ.

All the affiliated unions & the direct members of HMKP in the entire country to participate in the ALL INDIA S T R I K E on February 12,2026.
