Fisherman sets fire to self
Posted on: 05/Mar/2013 4:47:59 PM
In the wake of protests against the Sri Lankan Government in Tamil Nadu, a fisherman from Cuddalore immolated himself and died in Chennai.
Mani, who set fire to himself after dousing his body with petrol, was rescued and brought to Chennai for treatment. However, doctors could not save him. Before he died, Mani spoke to the media.
He said, In Sri Lanka, President Rajapaksa has killed Tamils. Tamils should win at the United Nations. Eelam should happen. It`s martyrdom for me. In my hometown Cuddalore too, there is huge corruption in construction (of houses for the tsunami victims). I struggled democratically for five years but could do nothing. I protested in democratic way. I took it to court but there too officials cheated. My wife and children are nice people. It`s an honour to be the first person to die fighting corruption.
