Dear
Chief Editor/ Senior Correspondent,
We cordially
invite you to a public meeting titled ‘No more a war on adivasis alone..
It is now an all out war on all the oppressed people of the subcontinent’
organized by the Forum against War on People on 4th May,
2013 at 2.30 in Rajendra Bhawan (Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, New Delhi). Main
speakers who will address the meeting being: Amit Bhaduri, Arundhati Roy,
Aparna, Ashok Bhowmick, B.D. Sharma, G. Haragopal, Rajender Sacchar, Prashant
Bhushan, Karen Gabriel, Vara Vara Rao, Prashant Bhushan, Sumit Chakravarty,
Bhasha Singh and others.
It has
been more than three years since the Indian state launched a massive military
campaign in August-September 2009 against the people of central and eastern
India, which was euphemistically codenamed ‘Operation Green Hunt’. This hunting
campaign by the rulers of the country – against the oppressed and fighting
people of the country in general and the adivasis in particular – have left a
bloody trail of mass murders, ‘encounter’ killings, and ‘disappearances’. Along
with the brutal assault on the adivasis in the central heartland of India, this
war is also being waged on the workers in cities and their factories and the
slums; as also the farmers fighting against land acquisition.
Forum
against War on People which derives its spirit from the innumerable resistances
of the masses of the people too has been active right from the inception of the
‘Green Hunt’ in 2009.
Theme: ‘No more a war on
adivasis alone.. It is now an all out war on all the oppressed people of the
subcontinent!
Venue: Rajendra Bhawan (Deen
Dayal Upadhyay Marg, New Delhi)
Time:
2.30 pm
We appeal
you to send a senior correspondent/photographer/camera-person to the venue to
cover the event.
