The People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), which spearheads the agitation against the Koodankulam nuclear project, has decided to observe August 15 as Black Day.
In a statement headlined "Why Independence
Day is a Black Day", PMANE says:
The UPA government considers Indian life worthless and
dispensable by freeing Russia from liability commitment for Koodankulam reactors
1 & 2.
The UPA government signs secret agreements with foreign
governments and does not disclose the content to its own citizens and law
makers.
The UPA government and its atomic energy department
disrespect the Indian Judiciary and act with complete disregard for its
opinions and decisions.
The UPA government puts the interests of the United States,
Russia, France and Australia ahead of the Indian citizens’ own interests.
The UPA government is trying to prop up foreign economies at
the cost of our citizens’ health, wellbeing, food security, natural resources
and our progeny.
The UPA government is selling our natural resources to
foreigners and turning a blind eye to the rich and powerful people’s plundering
of our resources all over the country.
The UPA government uses money power to manipulate the MPs and
others as it was demonstrated during the passage of the India-US nuclear deal.
The UPA government does not allow openness, transparency,
accountability and popular participation in the decision making processes on crucial
national issues.
The UPA government stifles political dissent by maligning dissenters
and opposition leaders, undermining their movements and damaging their
reputation.
The UPA government is not at all serious about passing anti-corruption
legislations or bringing back the black money from abroad.
The UPA government does not respect our rich tradition of
democracy, nonviolence and the Gandhian ethos in public life.
The corruption-ridden, anti-Indian, pro-foreign, pro-MNC
government of the UPA does not enjoy absolute majority in the Parliament and
hence should not be allowed to take crucial national decisions at the fag end
of their tenure in power.
The UPA government has lost its credibility, legitimacy, respect
and trust among the people of India and it is compromising our independence, sovereignty
and the fundamental freedoms.
So the People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) commemorates
August 15, 2012 as a Black Day. We will hoist black flags on our homes and
public places. Please join us in this campaign!
And let us together take our India back!
