Solidarity with Global Day of Action against Vedanta
New Delhi, August 1, 2014: We express our solidarity with the Global Day of Action against Vedanta - action against the law breaking corporates. They have been cheating not only the directly affected adivasis and farmers, but the country as a whole, by plundering common wealth and resources.
The case of betrayal of adivasis in the case of Vedanta in Niyamgiri or land grab in Jagannathpuri, in the name of mining or University is exemplary of what is done or rather done away with in the name of ‘progress’. Industrialization cannot strip the `industrious adivasis of nature and culture.
Vedanta’s funding to both Congress and BJP, as reported through documents in the public domain is another corrupt and criminal offence against democracy. Politics which is in the clutches of such companies whether called Sterlite or Vedanta, whether belonging to Ambani or Adani can’t be either democratic or just.
Protest against Vedanta is a consensus against corrupt economics and politics, both !
