PRESS RELEASE
The
All India Democratic Women’s Association strongly condemns the way in which the
UPA Govt. has flouted basic Parliamentary norms by announcing a back-breaking
increase in petrol prices the day after the Budget session of Parliament
concluded. At a time when the crude
prices of oil in the international market have fallen sharply, this is nothing
but a criminal act. No amount of
shirking of responsibility by the Govt. on to the shoulders of the Oil
corporations can whitewash this.
This
hike is the highest ever and, of course, it will lead to another round of price
increases of all commodities. There is every reason to believe that the prices
of other petroleum prices including cooking gas are in the offing. Increased rates of transportation and
electricity are bound to follow making life for the poor and the middle classes
truly unbearable.
UPA
2 has made its 3rd anniversary in power memorable for the economic
violence it is perpetrating against the aam aurat and aadmi with no
amelioration in sight. Its total lack of
sensitivity to the agony of the poor is illustrated by the fact that instead of
using its huge foodgrain stocks to ensure real food security, it is planning to
export them. AIDWA calls on all its
members, as also the women of this country to launch struggles, independently
and jointly, to force the UPA Government to implement a roll back in prices
immediately.
