CAIT supports nationwide bandh on Sept 20
Rourkela:
Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) Odisha chapter today held a
preparatory meeting here at Rourkela Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI)
office for nationwide bandh on September 20. President of CAIT Odisha branch, S
Patnaik, CAIT Senior Vice President B M Agarwal and RCCI Secretary Rajesh
Agarwal were present in the meeting.
Briefing
media persons, S Patnaik dubbed the Central Government’s proposal on 51 per
cent FDI in multi-brand retails sector as anti-national and anti-consumer. This
will directly affect the small traders in the country, he observed.
Agarwal
said that the Government had earlier backtracked on the issue following stiff
protest by lakhs of traders under the banner of CAIT. He alleged that
Government now wants to go ahead with the same on the plea of boosting Indian
market.
In protest against this, a peaceful agitation
will be observed on September 20. CAIT urged all traders and their unions in Rourkela
and Sundargarh district to take part in the bandh.
