In a joint statement here on Saturday, they described the agitation against Coca-Cola as another struggle for independence to protect the sovereign right of the people over drinking water and other natural resources.

The statement demanded immediate release of the Yuvajanavedi activists who were arrested in connection with the agitation. The signatories included V.P. Vasudevan, Azad, Rafeeq Ahammed, P. Surendran P.J. James and V.V. Vijayakumar.
