The historic Lohia Maidan at Margao
resonated to the voice of solidarity
of the over 5000 determined Goans
who have voiced a resounding
NO to any SEZs in Goa.
The Goans demanded PEZ instead!
(PEZ - People’s Economic Zone)
The public meeting of
SEZ Virodhi Manch
Was addressed by
representatives from different villages
who are fighting the diabolical SEZs
that are a ploy to create 18 foreign nations within Goa
that seek to displace Goans
and destroy the environment of Goa.
Activists of Goa Bachao Abhiyan, Centre for Social Justice and Peace, Jagrut
Goem and internationally renowned fashion Designer, Wendell Rodricks also spoke
on the occasion.
A message of solidarity from Medha Patkar was read at the meeting.
A gathering unanimously resolved that
* Resolutions opposing SEZs be passed by every Gramsabha on 19 December 2007
(Goa Liberation Day) to decry the creation of 18 nations within Goa and thus
attacking the freedom of our motherland.
* Every MLA/politician to participate in his/her own Gramsabha and publicly
state their position of SEZs in Goa.
* A CBI enquiry to be instituted to unearth the scam behind the hasty approvals
of fraudulent applications for the SEZs.
The SEZ Virodhi Manch has threatened to
intensify the agitation
if the Government does not de-notify the all the SEZs
and return the land back to the Goans!
