A meeting was organised on July 11 at the Gandhi Peace Foundation, under the leadership of the Central TUs and Federations' Coordination Committee with the focus on opposing the anti-people and anti-worker policies of the government, the rally at the Parliament on July 30 and the country-wide strike planned for August 20. Workers and activists, along with organizations of workers in various areas of Delhi participated in this meeting.

This meeting was presided over by the coordination committee consisting of many central workers' unions.

Representatives from AICCTU, AITUC, AIUTUC, CITU, TUSS, UTUC, Mazdoor Ekta Committee, Hind Mazdoor Sabha, AIBEA, BIFI, GIEAIA, NRMU and many others put their views forward.

In memory of the hundredth anniversary of Mumbai's first political workers' strike, speakers gave a call to the workers to tear down this capitalist political system. They held liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation policies responsible for the present condition of workers and peasants in India.

Throwing light on the conditions of workers in Delhi, they said that rising prices were continuously dragging their standards of living lower. In Delhi, the capital of the nation, laws are casually being flouted by these capitalists. The Delhi government has been proved incapable of protecting the interest of the people. Capitalists are left free to violate the rights of working people.

The union leaders gave the call to make the rally to Parliament on July 30 and the country-wide strike on August 30 complete and successful. The meeting concluded with militant slogans of Inquilab Zindabad.
