military offensive in adivasi-populated regions.
In the past few months, the government, by repeatedly asserting its
perception of the Maoists as the �biggest threat to internal
security�, by criminalising the CPI (Maoist), and through a sustained
project of trying to build a consensus against various forms of
popular upsurge and dissent, has been creating ground for the
onslaught that is now in the offing. No matter what they say about
using the air force only for surveillance, it is clear enough that in
this elaborate plan to wage war against its own people, the state will
not, if needed, flinch from aerial bombardment. The idea that the IAF
could be allowed to �retaliate� in �self-defence� while carrying out
its so-called surveillance tasks is already being contemplated and
bandied about in the top echelons of the Indian state and security
establishment. Furthermore, the spate of arrests in Kolkata, and even
Delhi, has created an atmosphere that resembles, to an alarming
degree, the one created by Senator McCarthy�s �anti-communist� witch
hunt in the US of the 1940s and 1950s. It becomes important in such a
situation to come together and question this sequence of events and
the narrative that buttresses it. We invite you to a Press
Conference-cum-public meeting � on October 19, 2009, at the Press Club
of India, between 12pm and 3pm � in which we seek to discuss the
following:
1. The government�s plan to wage war against, and possibly bombard,
the people of the concerned area.
2. The arbitrary arrest of dissenting political organisers, dissident
intellectuals and student activists in the name of curbing �Maoism�.
3. The validity of the idea of outlawing an organisation completely
and thereby banning all its activities and, in effect, taking away all
forms of expression from its members.
The meeting-cum-press conference is to be addressed by Parthasarathi
Ray of Sanhati, writer Arundhati Roy, senior Supreme Court lawyer and
civil rights expert Prashant Bhushan and members of the PUDR. You are
cordially invited to attend the meeting and participate in the
discussion that will follow.
Venue: Press Club of India, Raisina Road (New Delhi)
Date: October 19, 2009
Time: 12.00-3.00 pm
Organisers:
Sanhati
PUDR
