Press Invitation - forum in New Delhi - ‘No more a war on adivasis alone..



03 May 2013
Dear Chief Editor/ Senior Correspondent,
We cordially invite you to a public meeting titled ‘No more a war on adivasis alone.. It is now an all out war on all the oppressed people of the subcontinent’ organized by the Forum against War on People on 4th May, 2013 at 2.30 in Rajendra Bhawan (Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, New Delhi). Main speakers who will address the meeting being: Amit Bhaduri, Arundhati Roy, Aparna, Ashok Bhowmick, B.D. Sharma, G. Haragopal, Rajender Sacchar, Prashant Bhushan, Karen Gabriel, Vara Vara Rao, Prashant Bhushan, Sumit Chakravarty, Bhasha Singh and others.
It has been more than three years since the Indian state launched a massive military campaign in August-September 2009 against the people of central and eastern India, which was euphemistically codenamed ‘Operation Green Hunt’. This hunting campaign by the rulers of the country – against the oppressed and fighting people of the country in general and the adivasis in particular – have left a bloody trail of mass murders, ‘encounter’ killings, and ‘disappearances’. Along with the brutal assault on the adivasis in the central heartland of India, this war is also being waged on the workers in cities and their factories and the slums; as also the farmers fighting against land acquisition.
Forum against War on People which derives its spirit from the innumerable resistances of the masses of the people too has been active right from the inception of the ‘Green Hunt’ in 2009.
Theme: ‘No more a war on adivasis alone.. It is now an all out war on all the oppressed people of the subcontinent!
Venue: Rajendra Bhawan (Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg, New Delhi)
Time: 2.30 pm
We appeal you to send a senior correspondent/photographer/camera-person to the venue to cover the event.
