Mullaperiyar: TN Lawyers boycott Court proceedings

 December 12, 2011: Several lawyers in Tamil Nadu today staged a demonstration on Monday morning and abstained from Court proceedings on that day to condemn the Kerala Government’s stand to build a new dam in place of the existing Mullaperiyar dam.
They urged the Kerala Government to respect the Supreme Court verdict and to give up their alleged anti Tamil Nadu stand in this issue which has seen Kerala and Tamil Nadu at loggerheads.
The demonstrators – including women lawyers – wanted Keralites to stop attacks on Tamilians living in that State. The protestors also burned the effigy of Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in connection with the issue.
