Trade unions welcome ceasefire, call for peace in the interest of workers
Various Central trade Unions welcomed the announcement of ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and called for peace in the interest of the working population. India Pakistan ceasefire: Follow LIVE updates on May 11, 2025 Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) general secretary Tapan Sen said in a statement that upon receiving the news of the stoppage of war, the people from both countries heaved a sigh of great relief as they needed peace for their own progress. 'CITU sincerely hopes that India and Pakistan should rebuild the mutual trust and cooperation in containing and eradicating the menace of terrorism that is inhuman in nature and strive to foster our historical bonds and relationship to new heights that would bring prosperity not only to both countries but to the entire region. Pakistan should ensure that its soil will not be used by terrorists for their nefarious activities,' Mr. Sen said. He appealed to the working people of both countries that they should not allow the sub-continent to become a theatre for terrorist conspiracy and asked them to be always vigilant against such a design. Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh national secretary V. Radhakrishnan congratulated the Indian defence forces for uprooting terrorism and for teaching Pakistan a lesson. 'We welcome the ceasefire. But we urge the Government to manage the situation cautiously as Pakistan cannot be trusted and it is not a modern society,' he said. The CTUs in the Opposition side will meet on May 15 to review the preparations for a one-day general strike they had called on May 20 against the proposed implementation of the four Labour Codes. The trade union of Sangh Parivar, the Bharatiya Mazdoor sangh, had asked the Opposition CTUs to drop all protests in the wake of Operation Sindoor.
