Vedanta's Final AGM
Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. Mon1 Oct 2018
Vedanta this morning delisted from the London Stock Exchange, under
pressure from politicians and activists
following the Thoothukudi massacre in Tamil Nadu where 13 protesters
were killed
Vedanta company Sterlite 'Toxic Killer of Tamil Nadu'
Vedanta violates human rights in India and elsewhere and damages the
environment across the world
City of London is still plundering Africa - as poster lists 8 leading
UK plunderers including Vedanta as Tamil drummers play
Posters say Vedanta is the most hated company in the world and has
helped organise killings of environmental activists
The protesters hold a 'Hall of Shame' archway in front of the AGM
venue, and throw dirts at it
and a photographs of Vedanta owner Anil Agarwal and others who support
the company
'Run Away Anil' - Miriam Rose of Foil Vedanta holds up a poster for
Anil Agarwal - who has failed to attend the AGM
of his company
A man holds an egg ready to throw at the pictures of Anila Agarwal
and the other Vedanta people
and the egg splats against the pictures
'Hall of Shame - The Faces Behind Vedanta' including former PM David
Cameron
People hold up posters behind the banner for a group photo
A dissident shareholder who went into the AGM to protest tells us
he walked out when his questions were not answered
Although this is the last Vedanta AGM now the company has delisted, protests
will continue in London against
the company which still receives important backing from the City of London,
like other mining companies which
are still plundering the world - if not as openly and crookedly as Vedanta.
