A candle-lit procession of around 70 animated marchers carrying placards and candles took to the IIT flyover at 6 pm today on December 26 to demonstrate their solidarity with the people of Dantewada and especially Himanshu Kumar of the Gandhian organization Vanvasi Chetna Ashram who commenced an indefinite fast the same day. The crowd consisted of people from all over the country, including representatives of organizations from Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Orissa, and West Bengal, rallying together for a march and vigil. The crowd raised slogans that the state should address the wishes of Himanshu Kumar, and asked the state to stop the war against adivasis. Many also protested the displacement of tribals by the collusion of state forces and corporate interests. The gathering was organized by Delhi Solidarity Group and Association for India’s Development – NCR.
