What about todays Harthal

I do not support harthal (strike) by political parties. Strike is weapon of last resort available to workers. This must not be politically used.

Is harthal a hindi word or english word meaning srtike?I am not aware of it.

Harthal is a Hindi/ Urdu word meaning strike. This is an effective weapon in hands of workers. The opposite of strike (hartal) is Lock out- which is resorted to by employers.

The workers need to resort to strike as last resort. General strike or hartal call by political party is most unfair and undemocratic.

Harthal type things is not for politician I think its for General public.

Santosh- The politicians act for public. If Hartal is for public, this will be through politicians. But I understand, hartal or strike is for factory workers and employees. This is an effective weapon of last resort and must be seldom used if all other avenues fail.
