*37 days of gruelling walk, more than 50 days of dharna at Jantar Mantar Prime Minister still giving a blind eye to Bhopalis* **
Around 40 Bhopal survivors including women and children chained themselves at PM Residence on the 55th day of their dharna in New Delhi. They walked on foot from Bhopal to Delhi more than 800 km for the second time to ask Prime Minsiter to keep the promises made in 2006. The demands are simple and just- An empowered Commission on Bhopal and Legal Action against Dow Chemicals (current owner of Union Carbide). Despite repeated appeals Prime Minister did not agree to meet the Bhopalis, forcing them to reach his residence hoping it would be too close for him to ignore. 22 Bhopalis are arrested while 40 others have been released. *Solidarity meeting tomorrow: 22nd May, 4:00 PM, Bhopal Dharnasthal, Jantar Mantar Please join us and condemn the Prime Minister's continued apathy towards Bhopal victims.* ** Please call/ sms/ email all your friends, family and aquaintances and join in huge numbers. High time we tell Prime Minister that Delhi is watching his stance closely. Care!

Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
