The Left Front organised a massive anti-imperialism rally today in the city in a bid to outline its anti-FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) stand before the farmers ahead of the upcoming panchayat polls.
Senior Front leaders,including former CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and LF chairman Biman Bose,were present in the meeting.
Criticising the visit of US secretary of state Hillary Clinton,Bhattacharjee said,This is the first time in the history that a US secretary of state has visited a Bengal chief minister. This is unusual. But we can say that the US is trying to ensure its entry into India and Bengal is a strategic place for them.
We will never allow FDI in retail to enter the country and the state. The US firms have made their places in every sector,including medicine industry,banking and insurance. They also have access to our defence establishment.
Leaders like Suryakanta Mishra,Nirupam Sen and Gautam Deb were also present at the rally,which started at Rani Rasmani Road around 1.30 pm.
