CNDP welcomes revocation of the in Tripura

We, on behalf of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace(CNDP), heartily welcome the Tripura government’s decision to lift the notorious Armed Forces Special Powers Act(AFSPA) which has been used for providing impunity for the armed forces in the Jammu & Kashmir and the North-Eastern states. The brutally violent instances of murder and rape of innocent civilians in these regions of India since the 1950s remain a blot over the self-proclaimed world’s largest democracy. The continued existence of the AFSPA has only fuelled more violence and militarism.

We strongly such misadventure by a lame-duck outgoing prime Minister.

CNDP Statement: Koodankulam leader barred from attending his father’s funeral by the police

It is heartbreaking to see Mr. Pushparayan not being able to attend his father's last rites as he cannot move out of the Idinthakarai village, fearing immediate arrest by the police. It is shocking that over 200 police personnel were deployed at the funeral of Mr. Pushparayan's father in Tuticorin to arrest him if he joins. Almost the entire village of Idinthakarai, which has been the centre of protests, is declared criminal and people can't move out.
