The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), the trade union arm of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), on Thursday said it will hold nationwide protests on June 10 against the government’s plan to privatise public sector undertakings (PSUs) and anti-worker 'unjust decisions'.

The BMS said the slogan for the agitation will be, “Save public sector, save India”.

The BMS described advisors who have suggested to the government to sell PSUs as 'predatory'. It said the government had “no moral right or authority to sell national assets created by its predecessors”.
