[Reader-list] MEET AT JANTAR MANTAR ON THE NITHARI ISSUE

[arshad amanullah]

LET US MEET AT JANTAR MANTAR ON 14TH JAN. AT 5 PM TO LIGHT CANDLES FOR
THE VICTIMS OF NITHARI.

          The year 2006 ended with the shocking revelations of
"NITHARI'S GRUESOME KILLINGS" – appropriately being labeled as
'India's shame' - the blot that may never be easy to erase from our
history.
The Nithari murders have shocked the world and generated unparalleled
anger among the citizenry. What is making us ashamed and angry is that
for two years the media kept on bringing out stories of missing
children of the deprived and marginalized people and we failed to
raise our voice - and if we did it was not 'loud enough' to save the
lives of many innocent poor children. In any case, we should have
never left it to our netas, babus and police, who slept over it.
We must no longer watch from the sidelines silently. Along with the
media the citizens of this country have a moral responsibility to
launch a sustained campaign for accountability.
Let us all meet at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, Jan 14 at 5 p.m. to launch
a sustained 'campaign for accountability of the authorities' and
express our solidarity with the bereaved families of Nithari. We want
to seek information and explanation for the callousness of the
authorities who are there to protect the citizens, especially innocent
children and who failed in their duty for two long years.
The time has come to fight for upholding our constitutional rights in
letter and spirit.
