In pursuance of the declaration adopted by trade unions INTUC, AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, TUCC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF, UTUC in September last year, they declared a nation-wide stroke on January 08, 2020. It was expected that around 25 crore people will join the strike in different parts of the country. The main reason behind a step as severe as a nation-wide strike was to express dissatisfaction towards what are alleged to be ‘anti-people’ policies by the ruling party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The participation in the strike was earlier limited to ten major central trade unions [CTUs] of the country but later spread across involving many sectoral independent federations and associations.
