Attack on people associated with the Mehdiganj (Varanasi) movement condemened.
 
 
 
Dear All
 
We condemn the attack on volunteers and people associated with the Mehndiganj movement. The people at Coke seem to be going off balance due to the mass awakening and they recognising their natural right on underground water. Any amount of PR exercise of Coke could not deter the morale of the determined activists.
 
This right of people has also been repeatedly established by various judicial pronouncements. The actions of coke seems be desparate attempts to prevent the people from pursuing their rightful cause.  Especially so when it stands exposed on the so called 'social works' being done by it, on and around the Mehendiganj botteling plant.  Just to remind that the village pradhan of Mehendiganj has disputed all of coke's claims of social work in area.  
 
We urge the administration to take stern against the people who tried to man handle the volunteers and issued life threats to noted social activist Dr. Sandeep Pandey. The people have their right to peaceful protest which any corporation cannot snatch away by using money and muscle power.
 
There are some reports from the scene of action which say that the Coca Cola company is offerring money to people who will stand on their side. What could be a better example of misuse of corporate financial strength? We condemn the unlawful actions the Coca cola.

All concerned citizens are requested to please express their protest in this regard to the various authorities of the state on their contact information provided below.
