INDIA SHOULD JOIN CONSENSUS ON ENDOSULFAN BAN
Environmental activist Vandana Shiva has called upon the union government for an absolute ban on manufacture, supply and use, of Endosulfan in the country. Delivering the keynote address at a national convention of ban of Endosulfan held in Kasaragod on Sunday 17th April, 2011. Ms Siva said that India should stand with the call for Endosulfan ban at the Stockholm convention on persistent organic pollutants. The country would be isolated from the international community if it did not join the global consensus on Endosulfan ban.
Various studies on Endosulfan had proved beyond doubt the ill-effects of the pesticide on human body. Ms Vandana Shiv alleged that the latest panel study being conducted by the central government panel was eye wash. Such efforts should be collectively resisted by the people. The convention was held by the Endosulfan Virudha Samara Samithy.
Senior Congress leader V.M Sudheeran delivered the solidarity speech at the convention, calling on the central government to join the call for banning Endosulfan, he said the state government should play a vital role and send an all party delegation to exert pressure on the center to take a positive stand for the ban at the Stockholm convention
