Just after 24 hours of human rights activist Irom Sharmila filing the papers for her marriage at the Sub-Registrar’s office a local activist has filed a petition against it.
Ms Sharmila and her British partner Desmond Coutinho submitted their papers for their marriage at the Sub-Registrar Office on Wednesday. A 30-day notice was served as her marriage could be registered under the Special Marriage Act.
V. Mahendran, a social activist from Pethuparai, submitted a petition to the Sub-Registrar protesting against Ms Sharmila’s marriage proposal and appealing to the government to deny permission to them.
In a recent television interview, hinted that she would raise her voice in support of tribals on the hills. Moreover, her British fiancée Mr Coutinho was in-charge of a website engaging with activists all over the world. Mr Mahendran cited these as threats to peace on the hills of Kodaikanal.
