Arundhati Roy expresses solidarity with villagers of Idinthakarai

KKNPP protest will be taken up at national level: Kejriwal THE HINDU 12 Sept 12  “……. Writer Arundhati Roy on Wednesday expressed solidarity with villagers of Idinthakarai who are resisting the loading of fuel in the nuclear reactor at Kudankulam.

In a statement, she said when the government had shown itself incapable of even disposal of garbage, could not be expected to know how to deal with nuclear waste. Questioning whether nuclear reactors in the country were safe, she said no amount of compensation could ever right a nuclear disaster.

“I do believe what is being done in Kudankulam in the name of development is a crime.” http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article3888410.ece
