"I keep thinking of the four women who chained themselves across the mining
road, and which made big news for exactly two days. Imagine how much more
powerful the whole thing would have been, had they been joined by the
distinguished Norma Alvares of the Goa Foundation, awarded a Padma Shri for
her forceful defence of the environment.
Had that happened in this lighting news age, NDTV 24/7, CNN-IBN, Times Now,
and all the other half a dozen TV Channels would have run in, cameras in
tow; the Youth Congress goon who brought the truck-drivers in would have
been exposed, as would the inspector who verbally abused the women."
These are the words of Hartman
Hartman,
I was there for the press conferance of the lady in question. She has narrated
the incidence. She had also said that she and her family were trying all her
efforts ...and as none of the people come to their rescue, she must have
thought of having a dharana with her 82 year old mummy.
I feel, she must have told her would be action to many, for that reason only
seby reached and a kokani cinema producer reached their.
As for youth congress activist, they say only few people are on dharna, why not
crush them and they did exactly that. They certaily would have not done that
brutal act in presence of cnn, ndtv etc.
What is required is villeger like those four ladies should come open in their
respective ward, village, at particular site....
