Leaders of four Left parties "CPM, CPI, RSP and Forward Bloc" on Tuesday handed over a memorandum signed by four crore people demanding effective food security law to the prime minister.

Left leaders, including Prakash Karat (CPM), S Sudhakar Reddy (CPI), Debabrata Biswas (Forward Bloc) and T J Chandrachoodan (RSP) met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and urged him to bring a food security legislation in the ongoing budget session of Parliament. They said the law should provide for universal public distribution system, ensure 35 kg foodgrains at not more than Rs 2 per kg and do away with cash transfer scheme for the PDS.

Sitaram Yechury and Brinda Karat of the CPM and D Raja of the CPI were also part of the delegation.

The Left parties held a signature campaign across the country and collected over four crore signatures, which they said embodied the expectations of people for an effective food security law.

In July last year, they had held a month-long national campaign on food security issues and against price rise. It ended in a five day sit-in protest in Delhi.
