Continuing
their campaign for a Food Security Law, supply of 35 kgs of food grains at not
more than Rs. 2 per kg and opposing cash transfer scheme instead of food supply,
the Left Parties consisting of CPI, CPI(M), AIFB and RSP, has decided to
collect signatures from 5 crore of people to be submitted to the Prime Minister
of India. The signature campaign will be organised in the months of December
2012 and January 2013. Squad of workers will go from house to house to collect
the signatures. The collected signatures are to be deposited to the State level
headquarters by 31 January 2013 for submission to the Prime Minister.
It
is a sorry affair that even after 6 decades of independence, the central
government has utterly failed to supply required food grains to the poor and
needy. We appreciate the programme of the Left Parties and hope that not only 5
crores but more signatures will be obtained and submitted to the Prime Minister
to take immediate action.
