Protests mount against Lakshadweep reforms

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. In a press statement, CPI leader and former Minister Elamaram Karim said that the Centre is trying to repeat what it is doing in Kashmir, in Lakshadweep. In the meantime, AICC secretary in charge of Kerala Vishwanathan Perumal is expected to meet Mr. Patel on Friday, to apprise him of concerns of islanders and others over the reforms, it is learnt. The Indian Union Muslim League would organise a protest in front of the Lakshadweep administrative office here on Friday, said E.T.
