Seeds of hatred being sown in the peaceful locale, says Hibi Eden, MP
The new Administrator of Lakshadweep, Praful Patel, is vitiating the unique cultural heritage and ecological balance of the isles through his ‘unconstitutional dictats and Gujarat-model reforms’, Sanjeev Hegde, advocate of the Supreme Court, said, and extended all support to protests against the reforms. He was inaugurating an online protest convened by Janakeeya Prathirodha Samithi, a conclave of organisations. In a press statement, CPI(M) leader and former Minister Elamaram Karim said that the Centre is trying to repeat what it is doing in Kashmir, in Lakshadweep. His former Ministerial colleague Binoy Vishwam lamented that even MPs are being denied permission to visit Lakshadweep.
