PBKMS and SMS commemorate International Workers' Day

We renewed our pledges on May Day to extend our complete solidarity with the global struggle of the working class

Paschim Banga Khet Majoor Samity (PBKMS) and Sharamajivee Mahila Samity (SMS) marked 1st May, 2022 with rallies, marches, hoisting of our flag, enthusiastic sloganeering and exchange of revolutionary greetings. Field areas across 14 districts of West Bengal commemorated the historic day which witnessed enthusiastic participation from our members. Anchal, block and district committees mobilized members and our sympathizers for the events marking the day. A note on the history of the struggle of the working class and the relevance of the day in today's socio-political environment was circulated and read out in our street corner gatherings.
