The decision to escalate the protest by organizing a sit-in demonstration in Maharashtra starting from the evening of January 9th has been announced by Baba Kamble, the National President of the Auto Taxi Bus Truck Transport Federation.
According to Baba Kamble, various organizations have come together to intensify this movement and amplify the protest on the night of January 9th. Before this, Baba Kamble had already protested at Delhi’s Jantar-Mantar and participated in the protest in Punjab. After touring different parts of the country, he will be arriving in Maharashtra on the 9th. Drivers of all types of vehicles including auto-rickshaws, taxis, trucks, and buses will be participating in this protest.
Baba Kamble emphasized that the agitation is currently taking place across the country regarding hit-and-run cases. However, the government remains steadfast in its position. He urged the central government to engage in discussions with the associations representing the 25 crore drivers nationwide. If the government attempts to suppress the protest, it will only fuel a more aggressive response. Baba Kamble appealed for the continuation of the agitation through peaceful and democratic means, discouraging any form of violence.
Furthermore, Baba Kamble called upon all driver owners in Maharashtra to refrain from causing traffic disruptions. Instead, he encouraged them to join in a more forceful and intense protest by demonstrating in front of every district collector’s office and ward office, as well as preparing for roadblocks.
