To support movements across Asia for reclaiming democracy

HYDERABAD: The People's Forum against ADB ended its four-day protest programme with a `Hyderabad pledge', declaring to support movements across Asia for reclaiming democracy, sovereignty and self-determination.

"The forum also resolved to strive towards democratising the State so that it serves and responds to the aspirations and priorities of its people," a press release issued by the Forum said on Saturday.

Speakers from Manipur, Nagaland, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Orissa addressed a plenary on militarisation and development.

This was followed by a film show and cultural programmes by activists from India and other parts of Asia.
