Mr. Abe, Fix Fukushima First! You’re Welcome to India, Nukes are Not!! [Urgent Campaign Update]

The campaign launched by the Coalition for Disarmament and Peace(CNDP) against the India-Japan nuclear agreement, which has been in pipeline for several years and is likely to be culminated during the Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe's upcoming visit to New Delhi, has recieved extremely encouraging response from people all over the world, especially in India and Japan.

It is heartening to see that this camaign has received solidarity from people across the world who realise the risks of nuclear energy in a post-Fukushima world.
