Raja, Kuldeep Nayyar, Raghu Rai, Usha Ramanathan, Praful Bidwai, Kavita Krishnan, Gautam Navlakha, and unions, including JNUSU, Jamia Teachers'; Solidarity Association in solidarity with survivors on the 3rd day of hunger strike, and 2nd day of waterless fast.

WHEN:          12th November, 12 noon (Press Conference, Solidarity statements)

WHERE:        Jantar Mantar, New Delhi
BACKGROUND:
On the 3rd day of the fast, and Day 2 of the waterless fast, Bhopalis will be joined by eminent citizens from Delhi. The Government of India has promised to act with alacrity to every need of the corporate citizen — single window clearances, expedited and simplified licensing procedures. But for the ordinary citizen, getting his or her due as a human being remains a tortuous, convoluted and fraught process. Bhopalis are on a waterless fast demanding equal distribution of ex-gratia payment of Rs. 1 lakh among all affected people, the correction of the compensation being demanded by GoI from Union Carbide in its curative petition in Supreme Court. The Government is demanding just $1.2 billion while scientific estimates peg the additional compensation required at $8.1 billion.
