All India Trade Union Congress General Secretary and Lok Sabha MP, Gurudas Dasgupta, on Tuesday met the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and alleged police atrocities on the workers who were arrested in Noida during the nation-wide general strike last month.
The workers were arrested after the strike called by central trade unions turned violent in the district.
Seeking State Government’s co-operation in getting bail for the arrested workers, Dasgupta said the protests, that turned violent in Noida, were infiltrated by the outsiders.
“Violence took place due to two reasons — first, there was resentment among the workers. Second, some outsiders infiltrated into the agitation,” Dasgupta said. Alleging that police wanted to close their trade union offices, Dasgupta stressed that their party did not subscribe to violence.
“I apprised the CM about police atrocities on trade union workers in Noida, and drew his attention to the warrants issued against them. I requested him to ensure that all workers are released on bail,” Dasgupta said. He said if needed, AITUC would provide free legal aid to the arrested workers.
