 NATIONAL RALLY AGAINST FORCED EVICTIONS AND DISPOSSESSION

 Rajghat to Rashtrapati Bhavan
 
 
 CANDLE  LIGHT  VIGIL
 Sunday 30th April

 Jantar Mantar
 
 
 The violent and forced eviction of people from their natural habitat
 and homes, be it in the Narmada Valley, the slums of Mumbai or Delhi,
 or the adivasi areas of Orissa, is a matter of increasing alarm and
 worry.  It seems to be happening in a more and more systematic,
 calculated and sinister way. The government  is clearly promoting this
 violent neoliberal paradigm of development at the cost of its people.
 
 We cannot remain silent any more. We will NOT tolerate this violation
 of democracy and human rights any more.
 
 Peoples' movements and struggles from across the country must come
 together and unite forces to fight this battle against injustice.
 
 Join the National Rally on 28th April to raise a collective voice: NO
 MORE FORCED EVICTIONS!!!! NO MORE SLUM DEMOLITIONS!!! NO MORE
 DISPOSSESSION OF PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOMES, LANDS AND LIVELIHOODS!!!
 
 Come light a candle on 30th April at Jantar Mantar to express your
 solidarity with people's struggles for their rights.
 
 From Narmada to Mumbai, from Delhi to Orissa... our struggle is ONE.
 
 This is a critical issue that concerns each one of us. Democracy is at
 stake.
 
 We must unite to speak truth to power!! The time is NOW!!
 
 PLEASE BE THERE!!! PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN
 DELHI!
 
 in solidarity,
 
 Delhi Solidarity Group for the NBA
