For the strike, we prepared many pamphlets and 100,000 posters were distributed. Other groups issued letters in support, including indigenous groups. Our members and activists were arrested passing out leaflets and posters. There was government terror from the beginning, and leaders had to go underground. There have been widespread, indiscriminate arrests in the community to create an atmosphere of terror.
People are still in jail.
Our view is that only by being united can we get success. And we want to build mutual help in each other's struggles. We make clear that our vision is not according to caste or religion or community, but it is by class. Our vision is to look at this problem in a class way. We look at the oppressor caste people in a class way.
