The People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy had resumed their indefinite fast against commissioning of the plant on May one, listing six major demands, including setting up of a national panel of experts to study the region around KNPP.
"...We do not want to vote for selfish and anti-people mainstream politicians and political parties. We intend to return the cards to the Radhapuram Tahsildar," PMANE leader M Pushparayan said, protesting what he called the "callous attitude" of the Central and Tamil Nadu governments.
He said they had requested all their supporters to return their EPIC to the local Tahsildar and express their opposition to the governments and show their solidarity with their campaign. Indians living abroad could return their Voter IDs to the Indian embassies in their respective countries, he said.
He said the condition of some fasting women activists was very grim. A team of doctors had examined their condition.
