While denouncing the increasing violence against women in Haryana and across the entire country, the leader of the Samta Mulak Sangathan gave many examples of how the government, police and judiciary always protect the guilty instead of punishing them.

A call was given for united struggle against the change in labour laws, repression of workers’ struggles and the violation of workers’ rights. The leader of the MGNREGA Mazdoor Union described the plight of workers by reciting a poem.
