Daya Bai urges K-Rail protestors to stay united

Social activist addresses meeting at Kattilapeedika

Social activist Daya Bai has called upon anti-K-Rail protestors to evoke their inner strength and stay united to make their voices heard. Addressing protestors at Kattilapeedika in Kozhikode district on Tuesday, she told them “not to enter the fight with their eyes closed”. “You should be convinced about the pros and cons of the project thoroughly and only then will your inner strength come out,” she said, putting forth the idea of a State-wide protest on a single day against the semi-high-speed SilverLine rail project. “Use all your conviction and shout ‘Bandh Karo K-Rail’ and your pleas shall be heard,” she said.

The activist said present day Kerala reminded her of Germany under Hitler, and reminded the protestors how the common people of Poland brought down an autocratic Communist government there. She saluted the inner strength and relentless struggle of farmers who protested against the farm laws in Delhi and asked the anti-K-Rail protestors to follow their example.

She asked what purpose the SilverLine served when the majority of people were against it. “Who needs it? Who will benefit from it? This is not acceptable as per the Constitution of this country,” she said.
