Dear friends,
Eminent Indian citizens like
Prashant Bhushan, Aruna Roy, Binayak Sen, Vandana Shiva, Lalita Ramdas, Partha
Chatterjee, Praful Bidwai, Achin Vanaik, Gnani Sankaran, John Dayal, Meher
Engineer, Sandeep Pandey etc. have endorsed an appeal urging people of India to
demand that the government immediately stops intimidating and harassing
peaceful protesters in Koodankulam.
The appeal has
also demanded that the Indian government should put an immediate moratorium on
nuclear energy projects and should engage people into widest possible
consultation on safety, costs, environmental and other impacts of nuclear
energy and its relevance for India’s energy future before embarking on a
massive nuclear expansiondespite popular protests, objections by independent
experts and the global trend of shift away from nuclear energy.
This
appeal is a reflection of our collective frustration and instead of being sent
to the Govt, it will be presented before people of India.
Signatures
in large numbers are being collected and
this appeal is being released in different parts of the country by concerned
people.
In
Mumbai, we invite you to the release event of this national appeal on
Koodankulam, at 6:30 pm in Chaityabhoomi, Dadar on May 20, 2012 India
Gate. The appeal would be released by prominent human rights activist
Binayak Sen and film-maker Anand Patwardhan.
