Doraha: 5 Jan 214: (Punjab Screen Buureau): 

Marxist Communist Party of India (United) in a statement has condemned the inappropriate and unabated increase in the prices of domestic Gas, Petrol and Diesel, thus burdening the common man and giving huge profits to the monopoly oil companies of the country when 80% of the population of the country is already poverty ridden. The price rise in these commodities will further increase the problems of the common man and those of the poverty ridden people. The party is of the view that the price rise will further worsen the country’s economy. M C P I (U) demanded the roll back of the price rise and to withdraw its policy of decontrol of domestic  gas, petrol and diesel and supply gas, petrol and diesel at subsidized rates to the consumers. 

According to a statement released by the Secretary, State Committee, M C P I(U), Punjab; Comrade Pawan Kumar Kaushal party also demanded that Adhaar Card should not be made mandatory for the purpose of getting subsidy as the Supreme Court decision, secondly the subsidy must be given in cash instead of through the banks ,because the consumer has to pay Rs.30 to 40 more than on the subsidized cylinder in the form of V A T. One has to waste time and daily to enquire about the subsidy that is a difficult job for a daily wage earner. The Party demanded that the respective governments  should withdraw V A T on domestic gas, petrol and diesel.
