We should stand united for social causes, world should wake up for Amazon: E.P. Jayarajan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister E.P. Jayarajan has condemned Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s stand to consider the fires in Amazon as an internal issue.

“Amazon rainforest-lungs of the planet is on fire for the past few weeks and several thousand kilometres of wild have burned down. This is looked on as a major disaster by the world. Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s stand to consider the fires in Amazon as an internal issue is condemnable. When nations like Bolivia tried to douse the fire, Brazil did nothing. When protest spread worldwide, Brazil was forced to do something. There were protests in India as well by organizations like DYFI. But some narrow-minded people are making fun of this. We should isolate such people and stand united in such issues. The world should wake up for Amazon”, Jayarajan wrote on Facebook.
