Hundreds of CPI(M) activists from Delhi, Ghaziabad and Noida gathered
on Jantar Mantar to protest against coal blocks allocation scandals. A
dharna was organised which was later on converted in a public meeting.
The meeting was addressed by CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Com. Brinda Karat, CC member and Delhi State Committee Secretary Com. PMS Grewal and from Secretariat K M Tiwari, Com. Asha Sharma and Com. Anurag Saxena. The public meeting was later on joined upon by 4 members of Parliament. The meeting was chaired and conducted by Delhi State Committee Secretariat member Com. Vijender Sharma.
Speaking on the occasion Com. Brinda Karat said that out of 142 allocations, 70 to 76 were made to private companies without following proper procedures. Most of the private companies captured the land and assets to increase their value in the share market. However none of them have mined the allocated areas. Both Congress and BJP have helped private parties like Jindal and Reddy Brothers. She also pointed out that coal is a national natural resource which should not be opened for private parties to destroy it. Com. PMS Grewal in his address said that in most of the scandals Congress has blamed the allies or the other ministers keeping Manmohan Singh clean. Now it is very much clear that Manmohan Singh himself is involved in this. Com. Ramchander Dom stressed the need to fight corruption both inside and outside the parliament. In the end, an effigy of the Prime Minister was burnt.
