P
People at Koodankulam area are staging a democratic
struggle in the last few months, calling for the closure of the nuclear power
station that is being established here. The centre and the state governments,
the comprador bourgeois, multi-national corporations, brahmanistic media and
the ‘national’ parties including Congress and the BJP have all teamed up to
defeat the unified struggle of the people.In this matter, the centre and the
state governments are staging a clever drama that the plant’s operation can
commence after allaying people’s fear. For this, an Expert committee headed by
Muthu Vinayagam has been formed and has engaged in discussion with people
thrice so far. The Expert committee which has refused to answer certain
questions raised by the Koodankulam Struggle Committee in previous meetings had
been scheduled to meet them for the forth time.Accordingly, participants of
both the Expert committee and the Koodankulam Struggle Committee arrived at the
meeting venue, which is the Tirunelveli Collectorate, on Tuesday the 31st
of January. At that time, group of thugs under the leadership of Hindu
Munnani’s State vice-president rowdy Jeyakumar attacked the members of the
Koodankulam Struggle Committee, with rage. Police was witnessing this incident
silently; they arrested the Hindu Munnani hooligans only after demonstration by
women participants of the Koodankulam struggle committee.
Rowdyism by saffron
criminals:The committee headed by Udayakumar who
spoke to the media persons later said, people are not allowed to use even democratic
means to stage their protests; explicit attacks by the religious fundamentalist
groups like Hindu Munnani clearly conveys the message that there is no safety
for minorities in this country. The committee registered their protest by
refusing to participate in the discussions. As the people of Idindakarai
village are fishermen belonging to Christianity, the RSS gang is trying to
utilize this to its advantage. This faction is trying to take advantage by
spreading a malicious campaign amongst people that the Christian priests are
trying to destroy the sovereignty of our nation. The Congress party that is in
a completely deteriorated form in Tamil Nadu, is putting all out efforts to
proclaim that the Koodankulam Struggle committee is receiving funds from
foreign nations; by doing this it is trying to establish its boot-licking
strategy towards imperialism. The fast that is taking place at the grounds of
the church that belongs to people of Idindhakarai. Other sundry expenses do not
required any huge quantities of cash. Moreover, the people of that area –
particularly the fishermen – are providing financial support by allocating a
portion of their income for such expenses.
Even after the Struggle Committee has provided so many
explanations, the saffron, congress and Dinamalar hooligans are continuing to
howl such an unconscionable accusation against them. The darling of corporate
media Anna Hazare’s fast was sponsored by multinational corporations; such a
thing did not and cannot happen at Koodankulam. If the congress rogues’
statement is true, why don’t they announce the name of the foreign country that
is providing the funds? Can’t we find out which country – America or Germany or
Italy or France or Japan – is providing the funds and can’t our nation snap
ties with them straight away? Without doing any of the above, what is the point
in creating such a drama? How can foreign funds reach here by-passing Reserve
Bank of India? It is actually the Congress and the BJP governments, which fore
fronted their efforts in bringing foreign funds to millions of NGOs with an
objective to disrupt people’s struggles. It is a well-known fact that Vishwa
Hindu Parishad is the organisation that is topping the list that receives
maximum amounts of funds from foreign countries. Moreover, it is a long
established fact that none of these funds are being properly accounted for. Who
is acting as a spineless lackey of the foreign nations? The present Congress
government and the earlier BJP and its allies are the lackeys of first order.
These are parties that benefited by being pimps and allowing multi nationals to
rape mother India. No one can exceed Manmohan Singh who is the lackey of top
order in India.
The saffron and khadi
criminals in support of the nuclear plant:Next
is the false news that is being spread by brahministic media like Dinamalar –
they spread a lie that the power generated from the Koodankulam plant would
help in the developing Tamil Nadu; they are trying to provoke not only the
middle class but also the general public. They also shamelessly lie that the
villages in Tamil Nadu are suffering with more than five hours of power cuts
only because of non-functioning of the Koodankulam plant.What is the actual
cause for the power cut? The unrestricted supply of power to the multi-national
corporations and shopping malls are the real cause for power cuts to general
public. Though India’s power generation capacity has seen a multi-fold growth,
still more than 40 lakh villages are in dark. So where does the
million-mega-watt power that is getting generated go?It is estimated that the
India’s total power demand would be so many million mega watts in the upcoming
years. We actually are not part of this estimate; our requirement is not being
taken into account in this calculation. It is in fact the power demand of the
comprador bourgeois and multi-national corporations that is fallaciously
getting projected as the demand of the nation; this is being used for
defrauding the public. Unaware of this fact, the small business owners believe
that the Koodankulam project would be a solution for all their woes. We should
realise that the majority of the common men are not part of the India’s plan to
become a superpower. Moreover, power generated from nuclear reactors is not
going to exceed a few ten mega watts. The policy of sending expired reactors of
foreign nations at a huge cost to India is what is happening at Koodankulam and
other areas. The U.S.–India Civil Nuclear Agreement is all about this.
Government, which is incapable of helping people whose lives are ruined by
cyclone Thane, what position will it be to help people in case of a nuclear
disaster?All they have is cunningness of a fascist – they are trying to create
consensus in various ways in order to oppress the Struggle committee and the
people. The national parties – Congress and the BJP – which are denying the
Tamil Nadu’s rights in Mullai Periyar issue are the ones which are treating the
struggling Koodankulam people with enmity. If the old and new scores have to be
settled, the congress party should be wiped out from Tamil Nadu, without even a
trace. Similarly, the saffron terrorists should be taught a right lesson and
should be eliminated from Tamil Nadu. These bloodthirsty wolves, which are
trying to utilize every opportunity to provoke people with their ideas of
religious fundamentalism, have now entered the Koodankulam area. Our duty now
is to hunt down these wolves. If this is not done at the earliest, Tamil Nadu
would also become a ‘manslaughter Modi’s’ Gujarat.
