AFP. 15 March 2003. Thousands stage anti-war march in India's Calcutta. CALCUTTA -- Thousands of people in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta staged a protest march Saturday against the US threat of war on Iraq. More than 5,000 school and college teachers, Muslim clerics and communist party workers walked through the streets with messages scrawled on their shirts such as "Stand for peace, no war." "Intellectuals of the state are against war and we oppose US President George W. Bush who is bent on attacking Iraq. He will ruin everyone's future using bombs," Sumita Basu, a teacher in a city college, said. Muslim leaders also criticised Bush. "The US president has literally waged a war against Muslims across the world after the attack on the twin towers of the World Trade Center," Idris Ali, a cleric, said. "Osama bin Laden, who is believed to have masterminded the attack, may be a Muslim, but there is no place for terrorism in Islam. Muslims are against any war," he added. Police threw up a ring of security as the protestors marched up to the city's American Center and submitted an anti-war memorandum to officials there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
