The future of agriculture and industrial sectors in the country are under threat because of the policies of the Union government, R. Mutharasan, State Secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI), said here on Wednesday.

Mr. Mutharasan told presspersons that the three farm laws were passed in Parliament without discussions. The government had to withdraw these laws because of continuous protests by the farmers. But, Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not resign. Anti-labour laws were passed in Parliament without discussions. The National Textile Corporation mills were likely to be closed affecting several workers. The Micro, Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) were facing several challenges.

The Finance organisations, Reserve Bank of India and Election Commission should function as independent bodies. However, these were now under the control of the Prime Minister and were used to implement the policies of the RSS, he alleged.
