AGARTALA, Dec 12 (TIWN): After farmers called for 'Mass-Boycott' of All Adani and Reliance Products Including Jio SIMs, in Tripura the opposition CPI-M's wings have also called for the same movement.

The statement came from press meet of AIKS, GMP and CITU State leadership at the Conference Hall of CPI-M, Tripura State Committee, Melmath. The wings of the CPI-M have also announced agitation in support of farmers' right for which they are protesting at Delhi borders. 

Addressing media, Jitendra Choudhury, GMP President has urged people not to purchase any new sim-card from Jio company and to fail the evil attempt of the Modi Govt to privatize the country's properties.

The statement came amid the farmer leaders, after deliberating a proposal sent by the government offering written assurance on minimum support prices (MSP), decided to reject the same. Signalling at the further escalation of their agitation, the union leaders said farmers across the nation would boycott all products of Adani Ltd and Reliance Industries Limited, including the highly-used Jio mobile SIM cards. 

The farmer leaders, while addressing the press at Singhu borders, said the government has refused to roll back the laws despite their insistence in the past six rounds of meeting. This has compelled them to escalate their protest, the leaders of the agitation said.  "We will block Delhi-Jaipur and Delhi-Agra highways on 12th December," they said, adding that payments would not be made at toll plazas and all products of Adani and Reliance will be boycotted. "We will boycott Jio SIMs as well," they added.
