A local court today issued a Non Bailable Warrant (NBW) against anti-nuclear activist S P Udayakumar, spearheading the movement against Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant.
The NBW was issued by the Valliyoor court against Udayakumar while hearing a case registered by the Revenue and Police of Tirunelveli "for misusing a place of worship to instigate people and agitate against the Government on September 10."
Police and revenue officials had filed a case charging Udhayakumar, his close associates Pushparyan, Jesuraj, Milton and 32 others with convening a meeting at a church in Idinthakarai and mobilising people to protest against loading uranium fuel in the plant and instigating them against the State and Central governments.
Udhayakumar's wife Meera has been arraigned as 36th accused in the case. While Udhayakumar did not receive the summon personally, his father, who received it, told police he could not meet his son.
When the case came up for hearing today,Magistrate Crystal Sabitha directed Meera to appear for the next hearing and ordered issue of NBW against Udhayakumar and others.
Udayakumar has been evading police since September 10 when police fired teargas shells to disperse anti-nuclear activists who tried to lay siege to the plant.

He seems to be like Veerappan. He freely gives interviews tio anti-national TV channels in Delhi like NDTV, HT, TimesNOw and CIA Channel CNN-IBN but police cannot find him. Reminds us of the time when Police used to describe the colur of the undergarmentsveerappan wore but could never capture him. I think JJ should recall Vijaykumar and do and "encounter" of the CIA's Project Joshua funded anti-KKNPP ring leaders esp the cassocked goons.

why he is running away and trying to hide himself? if he claims he adopts the methods of mahatma, then he should surrender himself first and then preach. Trying to escape under the common people who do not understand and suggest an alternative how to generate power

Mr. Udhayakumar has not understood the real problems with nuclear plants, their safety measures and the importance of them for resolving energy problems and helping national development. He takes recourse to non legal methods to support the protest. He misguides the poor not well educated kudankulam people. Can he rethink his movement??
