CPI(M) urges Centre to withdraw new Labour Codes

The Hindu09-05-2025
CPI(M) State Secretary P. Shanmugam on Friday urged the Central government to withdraw the four new Labour Codes. He said that these Codes were against the rights and welfare of the workers.
Addressing mediapersons before a party meeting in Dindigul district, he said that the new Labour Codes: the Code on Wages, the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working conditions and the Code on Social Security should be immediately withdrawn
He requested Chief Minister M. K. Stalin to take the steps to pass a resolution urging the Centre to withdraw the Labour Codes. Trade unions have already expressed their strong opposition to the Labour Codes, he said, adding that the party backed the decision of the trade union to stage a protest against the Labour Codes.
He said that CPI(M) has extended its support for 'Operation Sindoor' by Indian Armed Forces launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The killing of innocent civilians cannot be tolerated. Necessary action should be taken, he said.
However, he criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being absent at the all party meeting that was held after the terror attack. He urged the Prime Minister to convene a Special Parliament Session to discuss the issue.
He said that the party has decided to conduct a 10-day march in Tamil Nadu in June against hate and communal politics practised by BJP-led Central government
Mr. Shanmugam urged the State government to recruit people to various posts on a permanent basis and not through contract or outsourcing methods. Steps were being taken to fill these posts on contract basis or through outsourcing. This approach towards recruitment should change, he said.
He also urged the State government to recover the panchami lands from encroachers and ensure that it was provided to the real beneficiaries.

PM Modi, Amit Shah falsely claim more allocation of funds to Tamil Nadu, alleges DMK

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK on Friday alleged that the BJP-led Centre is "lying" that funds provided to the state is more under its regime than during the Congress party's dispensation. The Dravidian party's official organ "Murasoli" in its editorial on the DMK's "Oraniyil Tamil Nadu" (Tamil Nadu as a single team) membership enrolment campaign said the party had always been reinventing itself and that is the reason for it being still young, though it has crossed the milestone of 75 years. On July 1, Stalin launched the Oraniyil Tamil Nadu (OTN) campaign and on July 3, the door-to-door visit to reach out to the people commenced. According to DMK President Stalin, the OTN encompasses election campaign, membership enrolment, the DMK government's achievements and the Centre's betrayal of Tamil Nadu as well and broadly, it is to bring together the people to protect the state's language and honour. Assembly election is due in Tamil Nadu during April 2026.

Live Events Right from Prime Minister Narendra Modi , everybody in the Centre have been "lying" again and again that funds to Tamil Nadu is more under the BJP regime than during the Congress rule. "Union Home Minister Amit Shah is often saying this. They did not specify the schemes through which they are providing the funds and they cannot say that."
