Letter to Chief Minister of Kerala to give attention to the indefinite fast undertaken by Sri. A Mohankumar and others at Kasargod for Endosulfan victims


To                                                                                             12th March 2013
Mr Oommen Chandy
Chief Minister of Kerala
Secretariat, Thiruvananthapuram
Kerala.

Dear Chief Minister,

Sub: Seeking immediate attention to the indefinite fast by Endosulfan victims at Kasargod –reg.

The indefinite fast taken up the victims of Endosulfan is a shame for a Government led by a Congress man whose roots are found in Gandhian ideology. Gandhi, if alive would have run to the tiny tent at Kasargod and sit with the victims who are on fast for the past 21 days. However, your government stands different in neglecting this indefinite fast by poor victims. All of us know that they are not powerful, influential or strong enough to shake the government. Satyagraha, a mode of struggle given by Gandhi is the only strategy they can resort to, to draw your attention. However, your continued silence to their Satyagraha till now is cruel violence on the victims. Victimisation of the victims is an unmatchable violence by a government in the recent history.  Wearing Khadi and speaking of Gandhian principles, why do you need to run a government unless you are able to take care of the pain, anguish and concern of the wretched, suppressed and vulnerable?
Kasargod needs urgently your presence to give them solace; a budgetary provision for their effective rehabilitation; a strong message from you for the non-violent development model.
Looking forward to your immediate intervention and make us proud of Kerala.
Thanking you,
Warm regards

Adv. P.P. Baburaj
Mysore.
