An All India Anti-Nuclear Convention was held in New Delhi on 10th August from 10:30 am to 4: 30 pm, at the Speaker’s Hall in the Constitution Club. Activists from various states of India including from Maharashtra, MP, Karnataka, Haryana, Punjab and Delhi attended. The convention focussed attention on three slogans: 1. Stop construction of all new nuclear power plants; 2. Shut down all existing nuclear power plants; and 3. Implement universal nuclear disarmament. A fourth slogan “Immediately stop all uranium mining” was also added consequent upon the discussions in the convention. The convention was attended by persons from Maharashtra, MP, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka, etc. Most of the people attending were those actually involved in struggles against nuclear plants. The convention, presided over by Com. Sanjay Singhvi, Gen. Secretary, TUCI was inaugurated by Com. K. N. Ramachandran, General Secretary, CPI (ML). In his inaugural speech he pointed out that nuclear power was being foisted upon the neo-colonial countries by imperialism only to assuage its own crisis. Coms. Pravin Gavankar and Mansoor Solkar of the Janhit Sewa Samiti and the Machhimar Kriti Samiti told of their experiences in the struggle in Jaitapur. Com. Rajkumar and Com. Dube of the Chutka Parmanu Sangharsh Samiti addressed the convention on the struggles against the proposed nuclear power plant in Chutka. They raised very pertinent points about the inflated projected per capita consumption of energy by the Government. A discussion also ensued on the meaning of development. Coms. Adwait Pednekar and Achin Vanaik provided expert inputs on various issues and Coms. Arun Velaskar, Madhu Mohite and Ramesh Gautam, also stated their views., The convention ended with a resolution being passed resolving to build up an All India Democratic Anti-nuclear Movement. However, to enable other organisations also to come together, only an Organising Committee was formed and charged with contacting other organisations all over India which accept the four basic slogans. A copy of the resolution passed is also enclosed

The Nazis got these lists with the help of IBM which was in the 'census' business that included racial census that entailed not only count the Jews but also identifying them. At the United States Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, there is an exhibit of an IBM Hollerith D-11 card sorting machine that was responsible for organising the census of 1933 that first identified the Jews.* * * *http://saynotoaadhaar.blogspot.com/* *http://aadhararticles.blogspot.com/* *http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1*< http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_162987527061902&ap=1> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
