A group of followers of Mahatma Gandhi from various parts of India are on a march

to plead against nuclear energy and nuclear weapons.

“Just take a look at the developed nations - none of them want to have a reactor in their own backyard. They all want to dump it in the third world. We have become a dumping ground for hoarding the hazardous radioactive material and waste,” Vidrohi told IANS by telephone from Varanasi.

He also made it clear that they differ from political parties like the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and others whose opposition towards the India-US civil nuclear deal is primarily not against nuclear energy, but against Washington.

What happens after 30 or 40 years? Where will the radioactive waste go? No, their attack is purely circumscribed to the US and nothing more.

We are trying to spread awareness that several forms of energy like solar power and wind power and even conventional forms can be used without jeopardizing the future of the world.”
