On April 6, a unique peace march will rally from Holy Family School Hall, Chakala till Andheri Police station to protest against mob violence. Points out activist Ravi Nair, an Action for Good Governance and Networking in India (AGNI) member, “We only put up our hands and blame the mobs, when they disrupt our normal life. We decided to raise our voice and make it count. Errant mobsters rule our lives and law-abiding citizens bear the brunt. They walk away scot-free, and even administration does not bring to book such elements, because politicians and powerbrokers are also involved. Joining this march will be elected representatives, former members of the administration and police, representatives of citizen groups and activists such as like Navleen Kumar, S Ganesan, Sumaira Abdulali, Suryakant Panchal, H S D’Lima and Vaishali Patil. This peace march will also highlight the inefficiency of the police authorities, when recently, AGNI activist James John was assaulted at J B Nagar, and had to be hospitalised during the Raj Thackeray arrest drama. The police acted only after a few days.When: Sunday, April 6Where: Holy Family School Hall, Andheri EastAt: 4:00 p m to 6:30 p mCall: 9821295960 (Ravi Nair) / 9223298694 (Ashok Pai)

COME JOIN US & STAND UNITED AGAINST MOB-OCRACY
Dear Friend,
Enforce Rule of Law! Fight Mob-ocracy!
Your presence will add meaning and value to a Citizen’s Meeting and Peace March on Sunday. April 6, 2008, 4.00 pm onwards. Please join citizen groups listed below at Holy Family School hall, (Nelco bus stop, Mahakali Caves Road, Andheri East). Then walk with them silently to Andheri Police Station to hand over an agreed memorandum.
The city is suffering lawlessness of a scale and frequency never known before. Issues are settled on the streets, mobs close down trade, attack citizens and spread fear. Police are often inactive or slow moving, collusion with wrongdoers is alleged. Politicians and power brokers are frequently involved – and rarely brought to book.
Despite the odds against them, a breed of fearless citizens stands up for the law of the land. Names like Navleen Kumar, S. Ganesan, Sumaira Abdulali, Suryakant Panchal, H.S. D’Lima and Vaishali Patil come to mind.
Most recently, James John, a senior and valued member of AGNI in Andheri East, had three ribs broken by persons forcibly closing shops the day Raj Thackeray was arrested. He was photographing the activity for evidence.
Citizens are stronger than mobs. On Sunday, April 6, join elected representatives, former members of the administration and police, representatives of citizen groups and the public to demand an end to the politically motivated and other lawlessness sweeping Mumbai.
Do be there on Sunday, April 6 and pass this message on to all with whom you are in touch. Mobs should not rule Mumbai. Citizens must.
