poowerplantMangalore, September 13: National Fishworkers' Forum has vehemently condemned the police firing, lathi-charge and teargas assault on peaceful satyagrahis protesting against the Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant.

 

In a press release issued here, by Pradip Chatterjee, Secretary of NFF, stated that till the last news one fisherman has been killed in the firing, hundreds of protesters have been injures and a large number of protesters have been arrested. The Indian media has shown video footages of the police crackdown.

 

Mr Chatterjee said that the protesters, as citizens of the sovereign, democratic and socialist republic of India have the right to protest policy decisions of the government and carry on peaceful movements when they feel their voices have not been heard. This is a right enshrined in our Constitution and both the Central and State Government of India are duty bound to defend this right by the oaths of their offices. Any violent action by the government against a peaceful agitation is violation of the basic principles of human rights honoured all over the civilized world.

 

“NFF calls upon all the fisher people and citizens of India as well as the fishing communities and concerned people all over the world to decry and protest this brutal attack on the protesters of Koodankulan Nuclear Power Plant who are fighting to safeguard the future of our planet from nuclear disaster”, he said.

Bengaluru, May 29: The Karnataka government has requested the Civil Aviation Ministry to reduce the number of flights, emanating from Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan to the state in view of the high number of Covid-19 Cases prevalent there.

In a clarification issued to the Media this evening, the Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Mr J C Madhuswamy has said that Karnataka has not sought for imposing a ban on flights emanating from these places, as reported in some sections of the Media.

Karnataka has appealed to the Civil Aviation Ministry to take steps to lessen the air traffic to the State, with the sacred intention that there may not be adequate quarantine facilities if there is huge turnout at a short period, he added.
