Kolkata, Feb 16 : The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) will launch an indefinite agitation throughout the country against the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre over the price rise issue, party National Secretary Parul Mandal said here today.
Addressing a press conference here, Ms Mandal said, ''the Centre is responsible for the acute price hike much to the discomfort of the common people.
''Inflation is also shooting up to record levels of 18 per cent with an endless series of scams, including the Commonwealth Games, 2G Spectrum and Adarsh Housing society scam destroying the social fabric.'' She said the UPA government was responsible to control the commodities' hike as the Centre was involved in a series of scams.
We are asking the student community of the country to protest against the issue,'' she said.
The ABVP would organise a two-day nationwide students' hunger strike on February 17 and 18 in all the state capaitals against the price rise and scams.
The party workers would also organise 'March the Parliament House' on the issue on March 4 where at least 10,000 students will participate, she said.
