In a Press Conference organised in New Delhi, activists opposed the nuclear power project in Maharashtra’s Jaitapur where India is setting up 6 nuclear plants imported from France. Eminent social activist Aruna Roy, Priya Pillai of Greenpeace India and Kumar Sundaram of Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace(CNDP) addressed the press conference. Here is the press statement that they jointly released.
Modi govt has been blindly pursuing the UPA's nuclear obssession, taking a u-turn from the BJP's own strong reservations on dilution of liability law and fraudulent environmental clearance for the Jaitapur project.
