Narmada Press Release
Written by Vinod Raina   
Friday, 14 April 2006
Friends,

The crucial meeting of the Review Committee of  the Narmada Control Authority (RCNCA) will take place tomorrow (15th April) morning. Since it is apparent that the 'yet-to-be -made-public' report of the three Ministers, who were forced by the agitation to make a site visit to see for themselves the violations of the Supreme Court decisions on Resettlement and Rehabilitation, is very damaging to the Government, there is a possibility that the RCNCA may be forced to review the decision of March 8 to raise the height from 110 metres to 121.4 metres. But the hunger-strike is likely to be lifted only if the RCNCA by itself, or through reference to the Prime Minister, asks for a halt in the ongoing construction at the dam site; since continued construction makes the situation irreversible.

For that to happen, hundreds of more protests must come in in the next twenty-four hours.

Mohiuddein's Speech for Students in SungKongHoe
Written by ACIS   
Tuesday, 11 April 2006

Dear Friends

I am honored and overwhelmed to get this opportunity to speak before you. Many people say that we are now living in a unipolar world. I don’t subscribe to this notion. I believe we are living in a bipolar world. At the one side, we see global hegemonic forces connected with each other through visible and invisible strings; on the other side there is a growing superpower, ‘the world public opinion’. We need to nourish it, promote it and sharpen it.
