Resolution of the Anti-Nuclear Convention at Koodankulam (January 4-5, 2014)

The Idinthakarai Convention declares that the Indo-US nuclear deal is one of the biggest disasters in independent India, and has paved the way for recolonisation of India with a renewed vigour. The Convention expresses its solidarity with all struggles against privatisation in general, and in particular to those who are currently engaged in resisting nuclear projects in Fatehabad, Haripur, Jaitapur, Kovvada, Mithi Virdi, Banswada, Chutka, Koodankulam, Kalpakkam, Thevaram, Madurai, Manavalakurichi, Pazhayakayal and Jadugoda.
