Chennai: The People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE) has extended its “strong support and solidarity” to the Aam Admi Party that according to them is trying to clean up the political system in the country.
PMANE is an anti-nuclear power group in Tamil Nadu, founded by S.P. Udayakumar. Since September 2011 the aim of the group has been to close the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant site and to preserve the largely untouched coastal landscape, as well as educate locals about nuclear power.
A PMANE read, “The country has been thrust into a deep crisis by the Congress Party and the BJP, both of whom are equally corrupt and communal. Both their policies and programs have been not only similar but also anti-people. For instance, take the energy policy of the country. Nuclear energy is being bandied about as THE panacea for all of the country’s ills and evils by both parties. Nuclear energy is projected as the single solution for the nation’s lack of energy security, military security and the overall national security. All this in a country where hundreds of millions of people do not have food security, nutrition security, water security, sanitation security, other basic needs of life or human dignity.”
“For that new beginning in India’s national life, we need new dreams, new visions, new ideas, new approaches and new leadership. And let that ‘new thing’ begin in New Delhi! The whole of India has turned to the Capital citizens for their path-breaking verdict with high hopes and expectations. We appeal to the voters of the state of Delhi to shun the corrupt and communal Congress Party and the BJP and hug the Aam Admi Party and its dynamic leaders Mr. Arvind Kejriwal and his comrades,” the PMANE further added.
