New Delhi: Members
from over a dozen civil society groups across the country will
march to parliament Friday protesting nuclearisation of India and
demanding sustainable alternative forms of energy.
The march under the banner Anti-Nuclear Struggles' Solidarity
Forum will begin from Mandi House at noon and end at Jantar Mantar,
a short distance from Parliament House on the edge of the posh
commercial district of Connaught Place, at 1.30 p.m.
"This protest march is to state our stand that we oppose all forms
of nuclearisation of India, including nuclear (fission) power and
weaponisation plans and programmes, and to demand an immediate
moratorium on all new projects, and a stringent review of existing
plants by independent experts," said a member of the Forum.
Environment group Greenpeace will also hand over 70,000 petitions
against the proposed Jaitapur nuclear project to the Prime
Minister's Office.
