Nedumaran continues indefinite fast
Chennai,
Sep
14:
Tamil
Nationalist
Movement
(TNM)
leader
P
Nedumaran,
a
staunch
supporter
of
Eelam
Tamils
who
made
a
vain
bid
to
carry
relief
material
to
the
suffering
Sri
Lankan
Tamils
yesterday,
continued
his
indefinite
fast
here
today,
even
as
leaders
of
various
parties,
espousing
the
cause
of
ethnic
Tamils,
appealed
to
him
to
give
up
the
fast.
Mr Nedumaran, who was earlier detained under the now defunct POTA for his support to the banned LTTE, began his fast at Nagapattinam yesterday after police foiled his bid to set sail to Sri Lanka in a boat with medicines and food for the Tamils by arresting him along with 150 of his supporters.
He
arrived
here
this
morning
after
his
release
last
evening
and
continued
his
fast
at
a
private
place
in
Koyambedu
in
the
city,
