"NEW DELHI: A massive rally of over 20,000 people from 15 states on Sunday reached the national Capital after marching 340 kms from Gwalior, demanding their rights to land and livelihood.
The "Janadesh March", organised by Ekta Parishad, was flagged off at Guwalior on October 2 and have already marched for 24 days."
I read this news in Times of India web edition today.
The government of India is busy doling out land in the name of SEZs who already have big money. While tribals
are --- at the cost of their lives (6 out of the 20,000 died on the way to Delhi) --- protesting to get their livelihoods.
What kind of an India are we living in?
We dont need a single SEZ at this time. No biggies need to be given any tax sop. In fact, they have to be penalized as per the law of the land for any illegalities done.
Let us support these tribals in any and all we can .
Jai Hind,
Samir
