Members of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) today staged protest at Jantar Mantar against alleged "attacks" on workers of left party, other groups and institutions related to the "leftist movement" in West Bengal.
"There have been continuous attacks by goons backed by the police who are carrying out attacks on trade union workers and labourers," a press statement by CITU alleged.
During their protest, CITU members raised slogans against West Bengal's government.
