Social activist Swami Agnivesh on Saturday said peaceful settlement of Posco impasse was possible through talks and offered to work as a facilitator between Orissa government and anti-Posco agitators.
“Peaceful settlement of the Posco issue is quite possible. I am willing to play the role of a facilitator for talks between the State government and agitators for a solution,” Swami Agnivesh told PTI.
Expressing solidarity with the anti-Posco agitators, he said there would be no displacement and no loss of fertile land if both the State government and Posco agreed to shift the plant site. It was wrong to allow a multi-national company to have its captive port.
Agniveshji, first and foremost, kindly ascertain that the land being acquired by POSCO, for its Steel Plant is absolutely needed and not a cent of land is being acquired, for real-estate purpose!
please remember that at stake is their sole-means of livelihoods!!
And a sustainable resettlement and rehabilitation must be assured to all the affected families!!!
