India's largest central trade union, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, said on Monday it will mobilise workers and public against Special economic zones by launching nation-wide protests from July 16 to 23.
"It is an attempt to take the fertile land of farmers which will reflect on agricultural products. All this seems to be a big land scam," said a statement issued by BMS, which is supported by Bhartiya Janata Party.
The union, which claims membership of over 62 lakh workers, said it will organise dharnas and rallies across the country during the protest week.
Demanding a regulatory authority to monitor over 500 SEZs, BMS said all political parties and trade unions should be taken into confidence while framing policy
