NEW DELHI: The choice to corporatise ordnance factories in the nation will be”ill-designed” and can severely affect India’s national security, defence preparedness and self-reliance, Communist Party leader D Raja said on Thursday.
Joining forces with the Central Trade Unions, that compared Modi government’s move to corporatise the 220 year old Indian Ordnance Factories, CPI said that the movement was one of the numerous anti-people decisions that the government had driven by”making the most” of this coronavirus pandemic.
“At least five ministers from the past such as late Manohar Parrikar, former defence minister of the BJP government had granted written assurances into the workforce which the Ordnance Factories wouldn’t be corporatised.
On the other hand, that the Modi government dismissing those arrangements…chose an arbitrary choice to corporatise the Ordnance Factories and divide into seven things allowing to readily sell the federal advantage,” that the CPI leader said in an declaration.
Central Trade also announced that the decision has been taken by placing stress on the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) to resolve that the conciliation proceeding on June 15, 2021 regardless of the lack of three significant trade unions which had struck operate.
