A day after protests and clashes, Idinthakarai on Tuesday witnessed
emotional scenes as PMANE coordinator S P Udayakumar appeared among the
anti-Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant agitators around 4 pm on the
premises of Lourdh Matha church in the village. Many women broke down
after Udayakumar said that he would court arrest to save the people
protesting the commissioning of the plant.
“I will court arrest to save the villagers from police attack. I hope that I will not be killed in prison and return after some days,” Udayakumar said.
A few others, who did not want him to court arrest, forcibly took him and activist Pushparayan to a boat and asked them to leave the spot immediately, while a 3,000-strong group was staging a dharna and another group continued the indefinite fast on the church premises in Idinthakarai.
