Dear friends,
On behalf of all the democratic and peace-loving citizens of India, especially the communities living near the proposed and existing nuclear power plants, we urge you to join the campaign to stop the India-Japan nuclear agreement, which is reportedly going to be consummated during the visit of the Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe from 11-13th December 2015.
The deal with Japan is actually a missing piece in the grand nuclear energy expansion that India has embarked upon after signing the disastrous Indo-US nuclear deal. The nuclear projects of America and France in Gujarat's Mithi Virdi, Andhra Pradesh's Kovvada and Maharashtra's Jaitapur cannot proceed without the India-Japan deal, as these designs use crucial components supplied by Japan.
Villagers in Jaitapur, Mithi Virdi, Kovvada and Koodankulam have announced grassroots protests when Mr. Abe visits India. In their solidarity, activists groups and concerned citizens would stage strong protests in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and other cities.
In the interest of the Indian people, it's important to oppose this agreement as it unleashes an insane and irreversibly destructive nuclear expansion, imposed through brutal repression and denial of local democracy. These projects are being strongly opposed on the ground by farmers and fisher-folk as they displace hundreds of thousands of people and endanger their safety and environment.
Several eminent independent experts and former policy makers have also risen it protest highlighting the specific hazards of the new designs, the shoddy environmental clearances issues under political pressure, the lack of transparency and accountability in the nuclear sector, the non-independence of India's nuclear regulator and the insistence of the foreign suppliers for not complying with the Nuclear Liability Act passed by the Indian parliament. After Fukushima, a number of countries have shifted away from nuclear energy and international commitments like this deal to import nuclear technology actually distort India's sovereign energy choices.
People in Japan are also opposing this agreement for the sheer absurdity of Mr. Shinzo Abe selling nuclear technology to other countries even as ongoing nuclear accident in Fukushima takes a turn for the worse. We urge you to lend your support to this urgent cause and stop the India- Japan nuclear agreement that would push the country into a destructive spiral.
