COIMBATORE: Close at the heels of the clampdown on activists opposing the Salem–Chennai eight-lane green corridor mission, two citizens of Chinniyampalayam and Irugur within the town had been arrested on Tuesday for opposing land acquisition for growth of the Coimbatore International Airport. Police charged them with ‘promulgating enmity between two groups.’ The two had allegedly disbursed pamphlets to fellow citizens urging them to call for upper compensation from the government for their lands.
The arrested had been known as CK Jayaprakash, 43, of Chinniyampalayam, and Senthil alias Senthilraj, 55, of Irugur.
Police mentioned Jayaprakash is the functionary of BJP. The duo used to be booked below sections 153 (A) (selling enmity between other groups on grounds of religion, race, place of origin, place of dwelling, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to repairs of unity) and 505 (2) (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code.
Former president of Chinniyampalayam village panchayat N Devaraj lodged a criticism with the Peelamedu police in opposition to Jayaprakash and Senthilraj. In his criticism, Devaraj mentioned the state govt is ready to supply a compensation of Rs 1,500 in step with sqft for house sites and Rs 900 in step with sqft for agricultural land. But Jayaprakash and Senthilraj disbursed pamphlets at Chinniyampalayam urging citizens to protest the government to get Rs 3,000 in step with sqft for house sites.
Recalling the deaths of 13 folks all the way through the anti-Sterlite protests, the pamphlet mentions that the folk of Tuticorin continue to protest regardless of lack of lives. Similarly, citizens of Chinniyampalayam should combat for upper compensation, the pamphlet mentioned.
Police registered a case in opposition to the duo in keeping with the criticism and arrested them on early Tuesday morning. They had been remanded in judicial custody.
Vairamani, spouse of Jayaprakash, advised reporters that her husband did not paintings in opposition to the state govt and he used to be now not in opposition to the airport land acquisition. He demanded that the government supply more compensation to the folk. “A couple of AIADMK functionaries from Chinniyampalayam won huge amount and approached the folk to handover their land for airport growth. We aren't in opposition to the airport land acquisition. But probably the most realtors who belonged to the ruling birthday party had been to be blamed for the arrest,” mentioned Vairamani.
National council member of People’s Union Council for Liberties S Balamurugan advised TOI that it’s a fundamental proper of each and every citizen to query the government’s scheme. Issuing pamphlet to criticize the government’s scheme is not an offence. The arrest of Jayaprakash and Senthilraj are condemnable and it is a violation in opposition to human rights. The govt has been crushing the voice of folks the usage of police pressure. “The arrested duo should be launched instantly,” he added.
