"This is amidst the pandemic-hit financial stresses of middle and lower middle-class workers and employees of the country. The anti-people, anti-worker step exposes the crudely lopsided public policies of the current central establishment which espouses interests of big capital at the expense of farmers, workers, and middle classes. The black initiative must be thwarted by united protests," she wrote.
