- 5 Day Banking

The above programmes will indicate the seriousness of the issue. We need to fight against the rigid approach of the IBA and achieve our demands. Our utmost unity is important. Our all-out preparation is important. Our moving together is important. We request all our constituent unions and members to rise as one man and implement the programmes successfully.
With revolutionary greetings,
Yours comradely,
