PROTESTING RAMPAL POWER PROJECT

Nat’l committee calls hartal today

In a bid to protest the implementation of Rampal coal based power plant, National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Port will observe a half-day Hartal in the capital today.

The committee will also conduct protest meeting across the country.
During a press release Sheikh Mohammad Shahidullah, convener of the National Committee, said they are not against the power plant. 
“We are fighting to protect the Sundarbans. I am for both, the Sundarbans and the power plant. That is why the Rampal power plant will be stopped by bringing in political changes, if needed,” he added. 
Prof Anu Muhamamd, member secretary of the National Committee, said this project is nothing but a conspiracy of a few people against the whole nation. Even the animals of the Sundarbans would protest against the Rampal project, if they could, he said.
Anu Muhammad said people at home and abroad are protesting against the decision. "Our demand is very clear. There will be no power plant project that would harm the Sundarbans."
