Dear
members of the inspection panel,
Let us begin with a thank you for your best efforts. The focus on
non-compliance as part of the TORs tied you down in what you were
able to discuss, but your best efforts had been made. Yet the problems
accrue, problems which lie outside the TORs and issues of non-compliance.
Omissions in the material of your report however have been stark.
The process of the GRSC is made completely redundant. The complaints
which we had forwarded to you have not been given proper value. This
constant play with peoples time, energy and words is an affront. Similarly
redundant is the testimony that you heard during your visit to the
area. There is no reference to these. To jog your memory we have attached
two transcripts of conversations during your time with us. How would
you use these? As confirmation of your own thoughts and placing into
boxes for your convenience or to let them speak and tell truth in
their terms?
And so to your recommendations. Your suggestions focus on a process
of consultation and assessment. Past experiences of these processes
have not sufficiently been taken into account. The Lok Sath is a mode
of deliberation amongst communities, it is a genuine method of inquiry,
of truth telling. You pass comments on consultation and assessment
but make no reference to the possibility of using this fora. Should
you wish to make any genuine steps in your recommendation the peoples
forum of the Lok Sath furnishes you with an opportunity to engage
with the people. If that is not a step made then the judgement of
the Lok Sath (attached) will come to pass.
Specific comments on and around your report have been developed by
some of us in languages of your own. This is attached.
Mushtaq Gadi
