---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sangharsh 2007 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 12-Aug-2007 05:08 Subject: Dharna against Displacement in Delhi - 13th Aug 11 am, Jantar Mantar To: *Kindly circulate widely* Dear friends and comrades, After the successful people's convention against displacement (held at Ambedkar Bhawan, New Delhi on 11th and 12th August), *dharna against displacement *demanding a pro-people developent planning policy and enactment will be held at *New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Monday, the 13th August at 11 am.* Organised by Sangharsh 2007, the People's Convention was attended by more than 400 people from across the country, representing about 80 people's organisations, engaged in struggles against displacement. The Convention, while condemning UPA Government's anti-people displacement policies including SEZs and hundreds of so called developmental projects, has demanded that the UPA government do justice to its election promise of 'no displacement' and also bring in a people-friendly DEVELOPMENT POLICY in place of the National Rehabilitation Policy which is nothing but a justification for the ongoing displacement of millions of people. The participants at the convention shared their respective movement experiences about displacement ranging from rural (Project based), Urban 'evictions', forest, militarisation caused, coastal, etc. SEZ affected people's organisations also raised their issues. We request all of you to join in the day-long Dharna at Jantar Mantar and extend solidarity to the people's struggles against devastation and displacement.
