Dear Mukul & Feroze
and members of the organizing committee;
Thank you for sharing the information about this conference.
A
conference of this magnitude is the need of this age to bring
reality, whatever that might be to the Indian Public. I urge you to
invite the following categories of people:
80% of the
speakers to be moderates from all faith traditions
20%
to be extremists from all faiths.
A true
conference will incorporate all opinions; without the extremists, we
would not have a complete picture. Let each panel discussion be with
one single objective - Solutions.
Let no
speaker be allowed to speak if they do not have a solution that
honors every Citizen of India, rich or poor, educated or not. Please
see if you can get them to sign (listed below) Pledge as a condition
to speak.
"If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. Mother Theresa "Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity - Dalai Lama Continued below...Mike Ghouse,
FIRST
NATIONAL CONFERENCE AGAINST
FASCISM
, TERRORISM & ENCOUNTERS
Ahmedabad, India. September 1-2, 2007
INVITATION for REGISTRATION
It is apparent to one and all that the issue of terrorism is no more a problem that can be ignored or wished away. The post 9/11 world, is one in which, terror has become a dominant part of the socio-political discourse in countries across the world, in a manner that most of us could never have imagined. We know that Bush's Global War on Terror (GWoT) is nothing but a euphemism for unleashing wars for Global domination and control over resources. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan today stand exposed in the eyes of the world Ordinary Indians from
across all religious communities have fallen prey to terror and these
attacks have occurred in Mandirs, Masjids, trains, buses and public
places. This climate of suspicion and fear is fuelling communal
divisions and hatred. At the same time our country is on the terror
radar and our security services have repeatedly failed to protect the
people, whilst managing to protect politicians through regular
encounters. We are now experiencing a daily barrage of emails,
telephone calls, faxes etc, threatening temples, mosques, airlines,
prominent commercial buildings, political leaders and what have you.
Terrorist attacks and encounter deaths have become the norm. Counter
to the general perception, actually terror bomb blasts have replaced
communal riots as a strategy of the State to divide people. Not a
single terror attack either in a Mandir or Masjid has led to communal
riots. They are not meant to!! Terror attacks achieve the same aim
without blood stains on the hands of the politicians, police or
bureaucracy. The people are undoubtedly fearful and confused and this anger then transforms itself into an anti-Muslim Islamophobia. The general climate of violence and wars, is also fuelling the growth of religious extremism across all sections and all these factors are a threat to Indian democracy and secularism. The necessity of the National Conference was also felt in view of the growing tendency of the State to use violence against innocent citizens under the guise of "fighting terrorism". We appeal to all those who have undertaken fact finding regarding the fake encounters and fake acts of terrorism and also of RSS involvements in such activities to send us their reports. Our plan is to compile a dossier of all the fact finding reports and you are all requested to email us the same as soon as possible. For the first ever time at the National Conference, we will discuss and present the facts as they have been recorded by the people regarding the terror attacks ranging from the Parliament, Godhra-Sabarmati Express, Sankat Mochan Mandir, Mumbai, Hyderabad Mecca Mosque, Nagpur, Malegaon, Nanded and the encounters in Chittispora, Ansal Plaza, Sohrabuddin, Ishrat Jahan, Khwaja Yunus etc. We will also discuss the international terror networks and the linkages between the Al Qaeda and the CIA-MOSSAD. The 9/11 WTC attack itself will be dealt with, since it is the centre piece of the GWoT. We deconstruct and expose the lies of the WTC terror attack and the rest of the lies all falls apart like a pack of cards. The issues are complex but we need to start a process at the national level and all the reports that we garner and all the discussions that we record, will be compiled, since an effort of this sort has never been undertaken in India. We need to free our minds and liberate it from the propaganda of the corporate controlled print and electronic media and as we clear the veil of lies, we will take the truth to the people.
We thus request all concerned
activists and people to attend. Participants are requested to
confirm their participation by email or call at:
