Jayalalitha

Dear supporter,

Click here to show solidarity with the people fasting in Idinthakarai village

Over 25,000 people in Idinthakarai village in Tamil Nadu are protesting and 127 people are on a hunger strike against the nuclear project in Kudankulam. ^[1] The proposed plant will use Russian technology, which according to a report continues to be a risky option. ^[2]

Even after witnessing the disaster at Fukushima 6 months ago and the explosion in France recently, ^[3] our government wants continue with nuclear energy. This is not what the local people want. Especially when safe alternative energy solutions exist.

Chief Minister Jayalalitha has failed to address the concerns of the people in Kudankulam despite the indefinite hunger strike. An accident here will affect all of us. We need to tell the CM that the entire country supports the demands being made by the people in Idinthakarai and Kudankulam.

You should show your solidarity with those fasting against the nuclear plant in Kudankulam and ask CM Jayalalitha to address their demand.

Public support behind the movement against corruption made the government bow to the demands of the people. ^[4] Thousands of petitions asking the CM to stop this project will help put pressure on her to act.

CM Jayalalitha needs to speak up. She has opposed a nuclear warship docking in Chennai in the past ^[5] and cannot ignore the concerns of the people this time. Show your solidarity with the people and ask Jayalalitha to break her silence now.
