Traders, industrialists and farmers will be ruined due to FDI in multi-brand retail trading - Vijender Gupta

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that the retail traders and industrialists besides the farmers of the country will be ruined due to allowing FDI in retail trade. Hence the BJP has decided to stage Dharna-Demonstration at Parliament on 28th November demanding withdrawal of the decision of the government to allow FDI.  He told that the UPA Government has committed a big bungling by allowing FDI in retail trade.

            It may be mentioned that the Government by allowing FDI in multi-brand retail trade of lakhs of crores in the country has taken anti people decision to render 20 lakh farmers and 10 lakh traders of the country unemployed and it will also endanger the sovereignty of the country because the economic system of the country will be under the control of foreign companies and they will be in a position to blackmail the Government and it will adversely affect the Indian democratic system.

            Delhi Pradesh Traders Cell Convenor Shri Kailash Gupta told that Delhi is the centre of distribution and wholesale trade of the country.  Goods are exchanged from here in the entire country as a chain.  More than 10 lakh families in Delhi are engaged in it since decades.  They will be rendered unemployed and ultimately ruined.  Hence all the traders of Delhi by taking part in the dharna-demonstration will demand the UPA Government to withdraw its decision which will ruin the traders.

            According to sources due to the decision to allow foreign companies for FDI will result in monopoly of the foreign companies on the agriculture of India. The companies will take the land of the farmers on lease and force them to grow crops according to their choice.  This way the farmer will grow only the crops which they choose.  In the agreement the foreign companies have included a condition that if the crop is not of good quality then they will reject the produce.  This way the farmers will not get the cost of their produce and they will be compelled to commit suicide due to the burden of loan.  The foreign companies will also render the Indian retail traders unemployed who have their shops in every lane and mohalla.  Due to this there will be unmanageable employment in the country.  Hundreds of trades including Shri Ramesh Khanna, Shri Sanjeev Bajaj, Shri Om Prakash Gupta and Shri Shyam Sunder etc. participated in the meeting of the Traders Cell.
