> Dear Friends,
> 
> Please join us at Jantar Mantar on 24th June 2013 (Monday)for a joint
> citizens' protest against the visit of US Secretary of State John Kerry for
> the 4th Annual Strategic Dialogue between India and the United States. The
> United States has been trying to subvert the Nuclear Liability Act,
> mandated by the Indian parliament, to ensure a liability-free playing field
> for the US nuclear corporates like Westinghouse and General Electric.
> Indian people have not forgotten the Bhopal experience where Union Carbide,
> now Dow Chemicals, got away with only meager compensation for the thousands
> of victims.
> 
> John Kerry has been supporting Genetically Modified (GM) foods and
> monstrous corporations like Monsanto. Very recently, he promoted GM at the
> World Food Prize Foundation which awarded three pro-GM scientists, even as
> the entire world has rose in opposition to GM-food.
> 
> Pushing India further into the mess created by the US in Afghanistan will
> be another important agenda during John Kerry's visit, which must be
> opposed strongly.
> 
> The joint protest will also raise voice against the recently unearthed
> global surveillance by the US where even the allies are under close and
> constant watch of the NSA.
> 
> We also demand that the US should back off from Syria where a brutal civil
> war between two armed parties is on and a partisan intervention will only
> further erode stability and peace. We firmly believe that a people's
> democratic mass movement in Syria can be the only genuine way to oppose the
> present regime.
> 
> The protest will also oppose the larger designs of US imperialism which is
> responsible for unbearable violence on people from Palestine to Afghanistan
> and Iraq, and the American war-mongering against Iran. We strongly oppose
> the illegal and indiscriminate killings of innocent people by the US
> drones.
> 
> We urge you to join this important protest and also invite your friends.
> 
> Date and time: June 24th, 3:00 pm
> Venue: Jantar Mantar, New Delhi
