S P Udayakumar, coordinator of People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy in Nagercoil (Tamil Nadu), also a signatory, said, “If we don’t sign the CTBT and NPT, but this nuclear deal goes through, this will lead to arms race in the region between India and Pakistan, China. This will lead to diversion of resources, which can otherwise be used for alleviating poverty.”
There are three more signatories, which include Sujay Basu (Director of the Centre of Energy and Environment Management in Kolkata), Sajaya Kakarla of Caring Citizens Collective (Hyderabad) and N Ramesh of Journalists Against Nuclear Weapons (Thanjavur Chapter).
