Press Invitation
for
Press Conference on the leaked Report on “Concerted efforts by select foreign funded NGOs” ‘take down’ Indian development projects”
Dear Madam/Sir,
The recent Report by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) on “Concerted efforts by select foreign funded NGOs to ‘take down’ Indian development projects” has been deliberately leaked to the press. This 21-page Report has named, among others, Praful Bidwai, Achin Vanaik, M G Devasahayam, Admiral L. Ramdas (former Chief of the Indian Navy and Magsaysay award winner) and S P Udayakumar in regard to their opposition to nuclear energy.
This Report has sought to discredit and portray us as ‘saboteurs’ of Indian development acting on the behest of or on behalf of ‘the foreign hand’. These allegations are particularly absurd when in this era of globalisation when foreign corporations, supported by their governments are being welcomed into various sensitive areas, including defense production.
We invite you to hear and speak to some of us who have been named in this Report. In this respect, a Press Conference is being held at the Deputy Chairman’s Hall, Constitution Club, Rafi Marg, New Delhi starting 3.00pm on 13th June 2014 (Friday).
Those present at this conference will include
- Praful Bidwai, Senior Columnist
- Achin Vanaik, Retired Professor of International Relations, Delhi University
- M G Devasahayam, Retired IAS and Power Policy Expert
Also available on skype to address any queries will be Admiral L. Ramdas and S P Udayakumar, leading activist from Koodankulam.
We request you to send a representative from your organisation to cover the event and report on the statement.
Yours Sincerely,
Achin Vanaik
