WORLD Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) affiliate trade unions AICCTU, CITU, AITUC, AIUTUC, TUCC and UTUC held protests in Patna on 24 June 2020 in response to the WFTU call against racial discrimination in America and across the world including racial, communal, casteist and gender discrimination in India. The protest meeting in Patna was presided over by AICCTU leader Ranvijay Kumar and addressed by leaders from various parties.

The speakers said that at this time when the Corona pandemic is a deep crisis for the whole world and protecting citizens should be the priority, we are witnessing state-protected racial violence and discrimination in America and persecution of minorities, women, dalits, adivasis, human rights activists in India have increased. Racial-communal-casteist hatred and violence is as big a disaster as the Corona crisis and the people must come forward to end it.
