Statement Against Malicious Slandering of Activists Who are Fighting Against Adani International Seaport at Vizhinjam, Kerala, India in India *— by Social Movements, Eminent Persons, Social Organisations : Press Release — 07/11/2022 https://countercurrents.org/2022/11/solidarity-statement-against-malicious-slandering-of-activists-who-are-fighting-against-adani-international-seaport-at-vizhinjam-kerala-india/ The port has resulted in coastal erosion leading to the disappearance of coasts and the destruction of houses in the fishing villages. The dredging in the port will result in the loss of local fishing habitats leading to the destruction of the livelihood of thousands of fishing families and their displacement from the coasts.
Attempts have been made to slander Ms Aleyama Vijayan.
The attempt to portray the struggle as a foreign conspiracy through funding is malicious and an insult to the fishing community. This slander campaign is done together with attempts by vested groups to create communal issues and problems of law and order on the coast, to divide the fishing and host communities in the name of religion.
