Arvind,
Can you please give details as to why this call is tokenist, and how this
allows the suppression of the working class. If this line of reasoning is
correct then what alternative course of action is proposed by IFTU (New) ?
Fraternally,

How this routine token call of one day strike year after year correct? since
last 19 years this kind of tokenism allowed the capitalists and govts to move
unhindererd in suppressing the working class.How long should the working class
tolerate this kind of deception of their 'leaders?
