Mangalore, Sep 20: Members of several labour organisations, who came together under the banner of CITU, took out a protest march from Ambedkar circle (Jyothi Circle) to the Deputy Commissioner's office here on Friday, demanding minimum wage, check on price hike of essential commodities, implementation of labour laws and signing an agreement which gives the right to labourers to form unions and have their rights at work place.

Addressing the protesters at a public meeting in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner after the protest march, State unit president of the CITU B Madhava said that state government is not bothered about the working class.

"Issues concerning beedi workers, Anganwadi workers, Auto drivers, other daily wage labourers and construction workers have to be discussed in detail in the Assembly. Wages fixed in 2009 have to be revised,” he demanded.

Recalling the signature campaign by unorganised workers who had submitted a memorandum with 10 lakh signatures to the State Government, he said that the Government had failed to respond to it.

Sunil Kumar Bajal of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) said that entry of multi-national consumer malls will affect vendors. Street vendors are seeking mercy. He said that since the auto drivers are not provided with proper auto stands in the city they have been paying heavy amount as penalty to the RTO.

K Balakrishna Shetty, CITU district general secretary handed over a memorandum to Assistant labour commissioner Nagesh during the protest meet.

The Ayodhya police booked a senior journalist on Wednesday for raising questions on Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's visit to the Ram Janmabhoomi for a religious ceremony amid the lockdown over the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The FIR mentions a tweet by Siddharth Varadarajan, editor of news portal 'The Wire', where he said: "On the day the Tablighi Jamaat event was held, Adityanath insisted a large Ram Navami fair planned for Ayodhya from March 25 to April 2 would proceed as usual and that 'Lord Ram would protect devotees from the coronavirus."

Varadarajan had clarified in another tweet that it was "Acharya Paramhans, Hindutva stalwart and head of the official Ayodhya temple trust, who said Ram would protect devotees from coronavirus, and not Adityanath, though he allowed a public event on 25/3 in defiance of the lockdown and took part himself".

Taking the suo-motu cognizance, Faizabad Kotwali police station incharge Nitish Kumar Shrivastava registered an FIR under sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 505(2) (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code for doing "disreputable" comment against the chief minister.

Reacting to it, Varadarajan termed the FIR "politically motivated, saying that the offences invoked were not even remotely made out.
