“If you are working under the government establishment than you have to you utilize the services provided by the government. The people’s representatives of the country are also to fellow the same principle and it should be mandatory for them”, Swami Agnivesh told while addressing a press conference on Sunday at Sambalpur.

Swami Agnivesh during two day visit to western Orissa went to Paikmal on Saturday where he addressed a protest-rally that opposes mining in Gandhamardhan hill. He also went to Sambalpur University to address the students to create awareness among them for national wide anti-dowry campaign. On Sunday he addressed gathering of intellectuals at Sambalpur. “I do not agree mining at Gandhamardhan, Niyamgiri as it will totally destroy the flora and fauna of the region. I also oppose POSCO” Swami Agnivesh told adding that industrialization would hardly feed the poor and downtrodden.

‘Production should be by masses and not for masses’, reiterating the Gandhian principle of village and cottage industry Swami said we are running behind a mirage of developed country. Developed countries do not have a social system. ‘Depression among youngsters is in rising which leads them for suicide”, he asserted.

Swami asked the government to have an equal principle for every one. ‘Right to education, right to work and right to have a dignified life for all should become constitutional right for all’, Swami added.

The programmes were organized under the banner of People’s initiative for Development, a mass organization of the Smablpur. “We organize these programmes to educate people and students and to create a movement against the destruction of the society in the name of economic development. Local artisans including weavers, goldsmiths, carpenters, potters and others are now starving because of the loss in the agro sector as they are indirectly linked to cultivation. Unless it is not revived immediately number of suicide will be increased in near future”, convener of the organization Bhawani Sankar Hota told.
