Accusing the LDF Government in Kerala of walking into a trap laid by the Centre to promote corporate interests, a group of prominent civil society leaders in India including researchers, academics and activists has penned an open letter to the CPI(M) national leadership calling for steps to scrap the Silverline semi high speed rail corridor project.
The letter said the State- wide protests against the project could not be simply passed over as ‘politically motivated.’
“We understand that they are genuine community voices, and many of them are voices from the same people who stood strongly with the Left Democratic Front and had voted the LDF to power”.
