India Green protesters steal show at WEF global convention
Slogan-shouting Green activists barged into the venue of World Environment Foundation's Global Convention for Climate Change and stole the show during the inaugural ceremony here last evening. The activists, protesting against the WEF's Golden Peacock award to the Vedanta Alumina Limited for its refinery in Lanjigarh Orissa, pushed their way and seized the microphone to highlight various environmental crimes and human rights violations that the company had allegedly indulged in, not just in its Orissa project, but at other project sites across the country. The activists briefed the Tibetan Prime Minister in exile- Samdhung Rinpoche, who was present as a Chief dignitary at the function about the national campaign that has built up against the company and the devastation caused by the company in Orissa. He immediately walked out of the venue. Subsequently, hundreds of children from schools In Palampur, present at the ceremony held at Palampur Agriculture University grounds, cheered the protesters who were shouting ''Stop greenwashing corporate crimes'' and ''Stop selling climate change'' and later left the venue. -- (UNI) -- 13DR36.xml
