The demands include a hike in the minimum wages; repealing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA),Ā NationalĀ Register of Citizens (NRC) andĀ NationalĀ Population Register (NPR), and halting the privatisation of public sector undertakings.

The strike is also against banking reforms and bank mergers, demanding stringent measures to recover defaulted loans from corporates and saving the public sector banks.
