New Delhi: The nationwide strike by trade unions had its echo in Parliament today with Left parties, SP, RJD and BSP raising the issue vociferously as the Left warned the Government that it would come to grief if failed to give a fair deal to workers.

 "You have enjoyed the support of the Left., completely ignoring our views, this cannot go on for long," CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta asserted in the Lok Sabha after the issue was raised in Zero Hour by Basudeb Acharia of CPI-M.

In the Rajya Sabha, CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury said if the UPA government persisted with its economic policies, it would meet the same fate as that of NDA government which had launched "India shining campaign".

The Lok Sabha witnessed Congress member Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary utilising the opportunity to embarrass the Left over the Singur issue. He drew protests from Left members.

Dismissing charges that the government was "anti-labour", Parliamentary Affairs Minister P R Dasmunsi said the UPA coalition had tried to fulfil most of its commitments in the Common Minimum Programme and would be bringing a legislation for the unorganised labour in the budget session.

As both Houses assembled for the day, members of Left parties were on their feet demanding suspension of Question Hour to discuss the nationwide industrial strike.

As this was not agreed to by Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, they staged a walkout along with those of SP, TDP and BSP members and forced a brief adjournment in Rajya Sabha.

Acharia said Left members have decided not to claim their daily allowance for today in support of workers.
