Prominent Speakers Warned During the Webinar
A seminar on "Forward to Global Nuclear Disarmament" was organized by IDPD, CNCP, AIPSO and NAAM to pay tribute to the victims of the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The international level webinar was run live on Facebook by Dr. Arun Mitra, Senior Vice President, Indian Doctors for Peace and Development. Speakers at the webinar included Dr. Subrata Raju, Dr. Tilman Ruff, SP Uday Kumar and Plubsen Gupta. They demanded that the world be free from these nuclear weapons. The speakers lamented that neither the governments nor the people were serious about it. Nuclear warfare is far more dangerous than the Corona epidemic. We have seen that our health services have deteriorated during the Corona epidemic and have failed to deal with it. But the nuclear weapons epidemic is much larger. All peace-loving people should put pressure on governments to get out of this unnecessary race and spend this money on providing health services to the people. Dr. Arun Mitra conducted the webinar in a very smooth manner. At the end Dr. Shakeel Ur Rehman - General Secretary IDPD concluded the discussion and IDPD President Dr. SS Sudan thanked everyone. The webinar was attended by doctors from IDPD and IPPNW, as well as people from other sections of the society, who expressed their views, including Amarjit Kaur, General Secretary, All India Trade Union Congress. She expressed her views in detail about the adverse effects of nuclear weopen race on the workers.
