Kochi, Aug 01: As part of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch nation-wide protests demanding that India come out of the WTO, the Manch's Kerala unit would start a protest rally on August 1 from Kasargod to Thiruvananthapuram.
Addressing a press meet here today, K V Biju, state organiser of Swadesh Jagran Manch, said as a result of the globalisation policy many industries had closed down and lakhs of people had lost their jobs. In the organised sector alone, over ten lakh people had lost employment opportunities in the last five years, he said.
The rally, which would be flagged-off by P Muralidhar Rao, all India convenor of Swadeshi Jagran Manch, on August 1 at Kasargod would culminate at Thiruvananthapuram on August 14, he said.
